Meet and greet with Gabrielle Donnelly at Orchard House tonight
Author Gabrielle Donnelly
I am very excited to be able to finally meet Gabrielle Donnelly, author of The Little Women Letters. We have been corresponding since last summer and have spoken on the phone. She is doing a presentation at Orchard House tonight in the parlor on her book. I relish the opportunity to spend more than a few moments in Orchard House and really drink in the atmosphere. It’ll be just like it was years ago when the Alcotts entertained so many of their friends and engaged in games, fun and some high-minded conversation. The fact that it will be 7 pm and dark makes it even more enticing.
If Gabrielle is as delightful in person as she is in her letters, this should be a wonderful evening! I’ll update tomorrow with pictures and the whole story.
