Book Signing + Author Conversation with Thomas Harding
|
Join us for an evening of conversation about Thomas Harding's newest release, The Einstein Vendetta. He will be in conversation with his wife, Debora Harding, author of Dancing with the Octopus. Book signing will follow the discussion; both authors' books will be available for purchase at the store.
A true crime investigation into the murder of the relatives of Albert Einstein, set against the backdrop of Nazi-occupied Florence during WWII. Florence, August 1944. Fifteen miles southeast of the city, a unit of German soldiers arrive at Il Focardo, the home of Robert Einstein, first cousin of the famous scientist Albert Einstein. Nearby, Robert is hiding out in the Tuscan countryside, while his wife and daughters remain in the villa. Twelve hours later, Nina, Luce, and Anna-Maria are brutally murdered. In The Einstein Vendetta, Thomas Harding recounts the story of an unthinkable crime, one that unspools to reveal Italy's brutal wartime history--its fall to fascism, antisemitism, and bitter partisanship--and a family's search for justice. Vividly told, Harding threads history and detective story to build an unquiet, haunting testimony. |
