All are welcome to join CAI for a light breakfast at 9:30 am followed by Gloria Goldreich’s discussion (10:10 am) of her recent novel An Author’s Insights: The Writing of The Bridal Chair (2015). Against the backdrop of the Nazi invasion of France, Ida fights for her survival as an independent young woman while nurturing the dark creative genius of her parents. Little could she know how much her father’s artistic brilliance and sinister painting, The Bridal Chair, would shape her own life.
