Naomi Benaron is the author of Running the Rift, which follows Jean Patrick Nkuba, a gifted Rwandan boy, from the day he knows that running will be his life to the moment he must run to save his life, a ten-year span in which his country is undone by the Hutu-Tutsi tensions.
Hillary Jordan is the author of Mudbound, her prize-winning debut in which prejudice takes many forms, both subtle and brutal. It is 1946, and city-bred Laura McAllan is trying to raise her children on her husband's Mississippi Delta farm—a place she finds foreign and frightening. In the midst of the family's struggles, two young men return from the war to work the land. Jamie McAllan, Laura's brother-in-law, is everything her husband is not—charming, handsome, and haunted by his memories of combat. Ronsel Jackson, eldest son of the black sharecroppers who live on the McAllan farm, has come home with the shine of a war hero. But no matter his bravery in defense of his country, he is still considered less than a man in the Jim Crow South. It is the unlikely friendship of these brothers-in-arms that drives this powerful novel to its inexorable conclusion.

The evening will be her first public presentation following the publication of her fourteenth novel, Flight behavior (Harper, $28.99). Set in rural Appalachia, Kingsolver’s novel centers on a mysterious fire. What different characters make of this silently burning valley says as much about the individual farmers, biologists, and curiosity-seekers as it does about the state of the planet. For Dellarobia, a young woman chafing at her constrained circumstances, this lake of fire is at once a warning and an opportunity.
Author, environmental activist and human-rights advocate Barbara Kingsolver has held many jobs, from archaeologist to x-ray technician, but she has always been a storyteller. “I used to beg my mother to let me tell her a bedtime story,” she says. Her works include Prodigal Summer, Poisonwood Bible, and Small Wonder.
Tickets are $15; $10 for students and P&P members. Books will be sold on-site by Politics & Prose.
