Join us to discuss Rebecca Serle's novel "The Dinner List," imbued with delightful magical realism and life-changing romance. When Sabrina arrives at her 30th birthday dinner, she finds at the table not just her best friend, but also three significant people from her past and, well, Audrey Hepburn. Serle will also give an online author talk on January 10. Adults.

"The Dinner List" by Rebecca Serle is a story imbued with delightful magical realism and life-changing romance. When Sabrina arrives at her 30th birthday dinner she finds at the table not just her best friend, but also three significant people from her past, and well, Audrey Hepburn. As the appetizers are served, wine poured and dinner table conversation begins, it becomes clear that there's a reason these six people have been gathered together. 

Join us to discuss this fascinating book!

Adults.

Rebecca Serle will also appear live as part of the DBRL Online Author Series Wednesday, January 10 at 7 p.m. Visit the author series site to register.
