Wally Lamb is back with another novel, and he's coming to Portsmouth!

Wally Lamb is a terrific novelist, and he's coming to Portsmouth the week before Christmas (December 18th at 7:30pm at The Music Hall) to talk about his latest novel, called The Hour I First Believed. It's his first novel in nearly a decade, and an ambitious book. His new book focuses on a couple who move to Connecticut after the wife survives the Columbine tragedy.

Lamb's latest book is getting great reviews. USA Today says "Lamb remains a storyteller at the top of his game".

In an article about Lamb in the Hartford Courant , the author explains why he focused on Columbine . "His 25 years of teaching high school and his research into the perpetrators of the mass killings, Lamb says, convinced him the media 'had the story off-target. It was more complex than just being bullied.' The killers were motivated more by feelings of superiority than inferiority, he says."

I loved Wally Lamb's I Know This Much Is True and can't wait to read this one. It's over 700 pages long but I've been hearing that it's a page-turner.
