Event Details

We are pleased to present the LBPL's Historical Fiction Book Club, led by librarian Jakea Williamson. This is an in-person program taking place on the 2nd floor of the Library. This month’s book is The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'Farrell.

Florence, the 1550s. Lucrezia, third daughter of the grand duke, is comfortable with her obscure place in the palazzo. But when her older sister dies on the eve of her wedding to the ruler of Ferrara, Modena and Reggio, Lucrezia is thrust unwittingly into the limelight: the duke is quick to request her hand in marriage, and her father just as quick to accept on her behalf.
