Author Gervais Hagerty to Speak at Charleston Library Society
On August 13th at 6 pm, the Charleston Library Society (CLS) will welcome Gervais Hagerty for an evening of discussion on her recent publication, In Polite Company.
This novel takes a look inside the private lives of Charleston aristocracy, where a former debutante learns that sometimes good behavior leads to bad decisions. New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe will make a special introduction to kick-off the evening.
The book will be available for purchase (before the publishing date!) at the event or through Buxton Books at 843-723-1670. After her conversation, Gervais will sign and personalize copies of her book. Tickets for this event are $5 a person and include a wine reception. To purchase your tickets, click here.
