Check out this very special conversation HarperCollins Library Marketing Directer Virginia Stanley had with debut novelist Bill Gaythwaite. They discuss Bill's recently published book UNDERBURN.
Praise for UNDERBURN:
“A wonderfully engaging tale of both family and the underside of fame, Bill Gaythwaite’s debut novel Underburn mirrors the deceptive richness of the very generational ties it so charmingly explores: the long memories, conflicts big and small, surprisingly pivotal moments, and rediscovered bonds. One rarely encounters characters drawn with such candor, warmth, and humanity: you will gladly cheer and care for everyone as they seek to make peace with the past, while risking it all for a brand-new future.”
—Natalie Jenner, author of the international bestseller The Jane Austen Society
"A quirky family story told with wit and wisdom, with shades of Anne Tyler or Elizabeth Strout.... a fine debut."
—Kirkus Reviews
