SUMMARY:Julia Glass  reads from her new novel\, A House Among the Trees
DESCRIPTION:The story of an unusual bond between a world-famous writer and his assistant–a richly plotted novel of friendship and love\, artistic ambition\, the perils of celebrity\, and the power of an unexpected legacy.\n\n\n\n\n“Radiant . . . Warmhearted . . . Grippingly readable . . . [Glass’s] conclusion finds room for compromise and mutual fulfillment among her full-bodied\, compassionately rendered characters.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen the revered children’s book author Mort Lear dies accidentally at his Connecticut home\, he leaves his property and all its contents to his trusted assistant\, Tomasina Daulair\, who is moved by his generosity but dismayed by the complicated and defiant directives in his will. Tommy knew Morty for more than four decades\, since meeting him in a Manhattan playground when she was twelve and he was working on sketches for the book that would make him a star. By the end of his increasingly reclusive life\, she found herself living in his house as confidante and helpmeet\, witness not just to his daily routines but to the emotional fallout of his strange boyhood and his volatile relationship with a lover who died of AIDS. Now Tommy must try to honor Morty’s last wishes while grappling with their effects on several people. \nJULIA GLASS is the author of five previous books of fiction\, including the best-selling Three Junes\, winner of the National Book Award\, and I See You Everywhere\, winner of the Binghamton University John Gardner Fiction Book Award. A recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the New York Foundation for the Arts\, and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study\, Glass is a Distinguished Writer in Residence at Emerson College. She lives with her family in Marblehead\, Massachusetts.
