Boswell Book Company hosts an evening with Katharine Beutner, the newest member of the UWM Creative Writing faculty and the Edmund White Award-winning author of Alcestis, who joins us with her latest book, Killingly, a haunting novel of intrigue, longing, and terror that’s based on the real-life unsolved murder of a student at an east coast women’s college in 1897.
Beutner’s novel is a New York Times Book Review, Minneapolis Star-Tribune, and CrimeReads recommended book for summer. Carole E Barrowman says: "Like Margaret Atwood's Alias Grace, Killingly is an evocative novel crafted from an actual historical mystery where, according to Beutner, the subversive elements of a 19th-century women's college are 'thoroughly intertwined with oppression.'"
