Renee Rosen with Rebecca Makkai
Tuesday, November 4
7 pm at The Book Stall
We're fortunate that Chicago writer Renée Rosen, author of the bestselling novel Dollface, chose The Book Stall for the launch of her newest work of historical fiction, What the Lady Wants: A Novel of Marshall Field and the Gilded Age. It's
the tale of the visionary Chicago retail tycoon who made his fortune
wooing women customers with his famous motto: "Give the lady what she
wants." His
legendary charm also won the heart of socialite Delia Spencer, and led
to an infamous love affair--and that's what Renée's novel is all about!
Hear her discuss the book with her friend and fellow Chicago author Rebecca Makkai, who was recently at the store for a signing of her latest, The Hundred-Year House.
