Hear author Marjan Kamali, a featured author at the 2018 Concord Festival of Authors, discuss her new novel, The Stationary Shop, at the Concord Free Public Library (CFPL) Monday, June 24 at 7:00 p.m. The program will take place in the Periodical Room at the Main Library (129 Main Street Concord, MA). According to the publisher Simon & Schuster, The Stationary Shop is “a beautiful and timely exploration of devastating loss, unbreakable family bonds, and the overwhelming power of love.”

Kamali, born in Turkey to Iranian parents, spent her childhood in Kenya, Germany, Turkey, Iran, and the United States. She studied English Literature at UC Berkeley and received her MBA from Columbia University and her MFA from New York University. Her work has been broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and published in two anthologies: Tremors and Let Me Tell You Where I’ve Been. An excerpt from The Stationery Shop was published in Solstice Literary Magazine and nominated for a Pushcart Prize.
