An Evening with the Author, Camille Peri
September 17th at 5:30 PM
On Tuesday, September 17th, join us at the Robert Louis Stevenson Museum for a unique evening featuring two fantastic women – Fanny Stevenson and Camille Peri!
Fanny Stevenson, the fascinating and formidable wife of Robert Louis Stevenson has long been overlooked in the life of the well-known Scottish author, but now you can explore her life, her story, and her influence on the legacy of Robert Louis Stevenson.
Camille Peri’s, A Wilder Shore, rescues Fanny and Robert Louis Stevenson’s story from the dusty shelves of academia to bring life to a marriage that thrived on tempests, adventures and chaotic fun that would have wilted most Victorian households. It takes the reader with them on a whirlwind tour of life across the globe at the turn of the century.
The evening will feature a conversation between Camille and interviewer, Margaret Talbot of the New Yorker.
Books will be available to purchase at the Museum.
