The Penguin Bookshop is BACK!

"I always begin at the left with the opening word of the sentence and read towards the right and I recommend this method." -James Thurber

Dear Loyal Customers of the Penguin,

We are so happy to be opening the doors to our beautiful new store in our new location! Mary, Tess, Kristin, Kate, and I have all been working very hard to stock the shelves and get all of our systems up and running. At this point, we are approximately 80% stocked, and we will continue to ramp up over the next several weeks, getting ready for our Grand Opening in early March. In the meantime, our doors will be open and we will begin selling books. We welcome parents and children and will resume our storytimes the week of February 10th. Please know, however, that we have not yet completed the decorating of the children's department. But trust us -- It will be spectacular when we are finished!

Thank you so much for your patience during our transition. We are looking forward to seeing all of you again and recommending great books.

All my best,

Susan

Penguin Evening Readers

Thursday, February 27 at 7:00 p.m.

The author of the classic bestsellers The Secret History and The Little Friend returns with a brilliant, highly anticipated new novel, The Goldfinch. A young boy in New York City, Theo Decker, miraculously survives an accident that takes the life of his mother. Alone and abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by a friend's family and struggles to make sense of his new life. In the years that follow, he becomes entranced by one of the few things that reminds him of his mother: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the art underworld. Composed with the skills of a master, The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present-day America, and a drama of almost unbearable acuity and power. It is a story of loss and obsession, survival and self-invention, and the enormous power of art"

He wowed us all with his first novel, A Land More Kind Than Home.

Now he returns to the Penguin Bookshop to sign and discuss his latest novel, This Dark Road to Mercy.

At once captivating and heartbreaking, This Dark Road to Mercy is a testament to the unbreakable bonds of family and the primal desire to outrun a past that refuses to let go.
