Lisa See, NY Times Bestselling Author, to Detail New Novel in Dunwoody June 20 for Roswell Reads Presentation

Roswell Reads, in partnership with the City of Roswell and Bookmiser, will feature Lisa See, the No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of “Lady Tan’s Circle of Women,” “The Island of Sea Women,” “The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane” and 10 other titles, June 20 in Dunwoody.

See will discuss her new novel, “Daughters of the Sun and Moon.” Named a Most Anticipated Book of the Year by Today.com, the book will be released just 11 days before her Roswell Reads appearance.

The event will be at 5 p.m. at Saint Luke’s Presbyterian Church, 1978 Mount Vernon Road, Dunwoody. Two ticket prices (including fees) are offered: $23.50 for the presentation only; or $49.25 for VIP tickets that include admission, an autographed and personalized hardback copy of the book, reserved seating for the first 80 purchasers and a photo with the author.

Reserved seating is limited, so secure tickets now by clicking here.

After working as a freelance journalist as well as 13 years as Publishers Weekly’s West Coast correspondent, See penned her first book in 1995, “On Gold Mountain,” which tells the story of her Chinese American family’s settlement in Los Angeles.

That is also when her research began for the historical event around which her latest novel revolves – the Chinese massacre of 1871. Set amid the vibrancy and turmoil of that forgotten piece of American history, “Daughters of the Sun and Moon” tells the story of three unforgettable women, based on real Chinese women living in Los Angeles at the time, who managed to survive and eventually thrive, despite all odds.

Roswell Reads expects the event to sell out, as their 2025 presentation with Fredrik Backman did in five days, so don’t wait to purchase your tickets.
