Join the Watchung Booksellers Podcast for a live recording of a book club discussion about Loved and Missed by Susie Boyt led by Alice Elliott Dark and Dagmara Domińczyk. About the event: As the Watchung Booksellers Podcast turns one, we celebrate our love of books and community with a live recording in the Kids' Room! Authors and book lovers Alice Elliott Dark and Dagmara Domińczyk discuss the book everyone is talking about, Loved and Missed by Susie Boyt. The buzz has been spreading about this book throughout Lit Hub, the New York Times, and our own customers. It's been one of Marni and Kathryn's favorite handsells and we can't wait to discuss it with you all! The ticket costs $25 and includes light fare. The book must be purchased separately--copies are available at watchungbooksellers.com. About the book: With her daughter in the throes of drug addiction, a mother takes over the care of her granddaughter—and is transformed by the bond that forms between them—in this warm, sharp-witted, and psychologically acute story of familial love by a praised British novelist. Ruth is a woman who believes in and despairs of the curative power of love. Her daughter, Eleanor, who is addicted to drugs, has just had a baby, Lily. Ruth adjusts herself in ways large and small to give to Eleanor what she thinks she may need—nourishment, distance, affection—but all her gifts fall short. After someone dies of an overdose in Eleanor's apartment, Ruth hands her daughter an envelope of cash and takes Lily home with her, and Lily, as she grows, proves a compensation for all of Ruth's past defeats and disappointment. Love without fear is a new feeling for her, almost unrecognizable. Will it last? Love and Missed is a whip-smart, incisive, and mordantly witty novel about love's gains and missteps. British writer Susie Boyt's seventh novel, and the first to be published in the United States, is a triumph. About the author: Susie Boyt is the author of six novels and the memoir My Judy Garland Life , which was shortlisted for the PEN Ackerley Prize, staged at the Nottingham Playhouse, and serialized on BBC Radio 4.

Dark is a past recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. She is a professor at Rutgers-Newark in the English department and MFA program.
