September 2023 – Jane Austen in Vermont

Please join us for a talk at the Charleston Library Society by Stuart Bennett on his historical novel The Charleston Gambit.

Stuart has spoken to us before on his Jane Austen-inspired novel The Perfect Visit, and we welcome him once again to share his newest work about Lord Rawdon, later Lord Moira, and his role in the Revolutionary War in our very own Charleston South Carolina. [Note that Stuart’s second novel, Lord Moira’s Echo was a fictional account of this same Lord Rawdon and his relationship with Jane Austen herself!] Come hear how all these tales intersect…

Light refreshments and amiable conversation will be available to all – free and open to the public.

Hope to see you there!
