Kate Manning at Barrett Bookstore
Kate Manning will be at
Barrett Bookstore to launch her novel MY NOTORIOUS LIFE.
Join us for an evening of wine,
cheese and book talk.
A brilliant rendering of a
scandalous historical figure, Kate Manning's "My Notorious Life" is
an ambitious, thrilling novel introducing Axie Muldoon, a fiery heroine for the
ages. Inspired by the true story of Ann Trow Lohman, a female physician who
became one of the most controversial figures in Victorian New York City, Axie’s
story begins on the streets of 1860s New York. The impoverished child of Irish
immigrants, she grows up to become one of the wealthiest and most controversial
women of her day.
