Edith Forbes in Norwich

Join Edith Forbes for a reading and celebration of her new novel The Lawnmower Lady! Sharp-tongued Fay Kirkwood lived most of her life on a north country farm, raising pigs and fixing lawn mowers. After she drops dead, the unorthodox disposal of her body launches a pinball succession of events which, much to her dismay, she cannot escape witnessing. The Lawn-Mower Lady is a voice-driven comedy about death, New England culture, small-town entanglements, and a green burial decades before its time. Edith Forbes grew up in Wyoming and now lives in a small town in Vermont. She is the author of four novels: Alma Rose, Nowle’s Passing, Exit to Reality, and Navigating the Darwin Straits.
