ALCHEMIES OF LOVE & SCIENCE – FICTION

Set in the Spanish Golden Age, LEIGH BARDUGO’s The Familiar: A Novel is the story of Luzia, a servant with a penchant for magic. When a scheming mistress discovers her talent, she demands Luzia use her gifts to her own benefit, plunging Luzia into a world where the lines between magic, science, and fraud are never certain. LISA SEE’s Lady Tan’s Circle of Women: A Novel follows Tan Yunxian – born into an elite family, raised by her grandparents, and struggling to break free from tradition. Her grandmother, one of only a handful of female doctors in China, teaches her Chinese medicine, but when Yunxian is sent into an arranged marriage, her work is forbidden. Moderated by author and New York Times opinion columnist PAMELA PAUL.

NOTE: Leigh Bardugo will happily provide personalized book signings for up to two books per person for a total of 200 MBF attendees, and welcomes candid (but not posed) photographs.
