Melodie Winawer & Jillian Cantor – Online Author Talk | Historical Fiction Copy

Join us to hear Melodie Winawer and Jillian Cantor discuss their latest historical novels.

Melodie Winawer’s novel, Anticipation, is a thrilling tale set in the crumbling city of Mystras, Greece, in which a scientist’s vacation with her young son quickly turns into a fight for their lives after they cross paths with a man out of time.

“Winawer enthralls with this unique combination of history, romance, and the supernatural…Winawer draws on her experience as a scientist to make the research aspects of the plot feel real, while expertly switching between the present day and the various time periods of Elias’s lives. Readers will be riveted from the first page.”— Publishers Weekly (starred review)
