Fridays at Five ~ Rue Matthiessen

AUGUST 1 – Rue Matthiessen    Castles and Ruins: Unraveling Family Mysteries & Literary Legacy in the Irish Countryside

In an exquisitely written memoir of family, loss, and longing, Pushcart Prize nominee Rue Matthiessen examines a daughter’s childhood growing up in Sagaponack with her spirited mother lost too soon, and her search for connection with her distant, iconic father–celebrated author Peter Matthiessen. Castles and Ruins is both an elegy and a revelation–an intimate exploration of the past that speaks to the complexities of love, legacy, and identity.
