On Wednesday, Nov. 6 at 7 p.m., New York Times bestselling author Ariel Lawhon visits The Music Hall as part of the Writers on a New England Stage series to discuss her book, THE FROZEN RIVER. Her latest novel features Martha Ballard, an 18th-century midwife who has an intimate record of every birth, death, murder, and debacle that unfolds in the town of Hallowell. However, after the Kennebec River freezes and entombs a man in ice, Martha realizes that she may possess pivotal documentation that could link the man's death to a heinous attack. Throughout one long, hard winter, Martha may find herself at the center of a trail that may just tear the community apart.
The event starts at 7 p.m. and includes a moderated literary conversation with NHPR’s Rebecca Lavoie, Director of On Demand Audio.
