Living with a Lie: Myla Goldberg

Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta, Inc., Monday, November 14, 2011 at 12pm

Myla Goldberg discusses The False Friend.

Non-Member: $13.00 / Member: $8.00. Back for her third MJCCA Book Festival appearance, Myla Goldberg, author of The New York Times bestseller, Bee Season, brings us an astonishingly complex psychological drama with a simple setup: two eleven year-old girls, Celia and Djuna, best friends and fierce rivals, go into the woods. Only Celia comes out … . The lie Celia told to conceal her misdeed became the accepted truth: everyone assumed Djuna had been abducted, though neither she nor her abductor was ever found. And for twenty years, Celia blocked out how it happened. As an adult, her desperate search to understand what happened to Djuna has powerful consequences. A deeply resonant and emotionally charged story, The False Friend explores the adults that children become—leading us to question the truths that we accept or reject, as well as the lies to which we succumb.
