Get on the boat! We’re going to Lake Como! New York Times
bestselling and award-winning author Adriana Trigiani is the consummate storyteller. The adored novelist,
who’s also a celebrated screenwriter, producer, director, and podcast host,
pays homage to her Italian roots in her novels, consistently bringing both
laughter and tears to her devoted readers ever since her debut twenty-five
years ago with Big Stone Gap.
Her
new novel is a fresh, contemporary, intergenerational must-read. The View From Lake Como is everything an
immersive summer read should be—funny and heart-wrenching, with perfectly
imperfect characters. The novel is a love letter to big Italian American
families, Old
World
roots, and daughters who learn to live life on their own terms. It’s for anyone
who finally wants to start living the life they’ve always dreamed of.
Which Ticket
Package to Choose?
If
you and a partner or friend are attending together and only need one book to
share, choose our Two-Tickets/One-Book package.
About Our Book Sales
One of the most
exciting parts of attending our events is getting a signed copy of the author's
latest book along with the chance to meet the writer and have them personalize
it after the show.
Each sale
benefits our local partner Horizon Books in downtown Traverse City, Michigan.
The bundled price of National Writers Series books is always 20 percent below
retail, so you also get a great deal.
If you already
own the featured book, the one you receive with your ticket makes a great gift
for friends and family. Or you can donate it back to us at the National Writers
Series, and we'll distribute it to libraries and young writers in Northern
Michigan.
We think a new
book is one of the greatest joys of life, and we thank you for helping us make
Traverse City one of the premiere destinations for authors through our book
sales.
