Eliza Knight w/ Lost in the Summer of '69

Midtown Reader hosts a conversation with USA Today bestselling author Eliza Knight about her new novel, Lost in the Summer of '69, joined by local author Mary Ann Lindley. The book follows Eleanor Bell, a widow turning sixty-nine who feels early signs of dementia and decides to reclaim the parts of herself set aside for marriage and motherhood. She slips away to the Newport Pop Festival, takes the open mic, then catches a ride on a tour bus bound for Woodstock. Her daughter Leanne and granddaughter Nora set off on a cross-country search, and as Eleanor gains unexpected attention as the “Dame of Rock and Roll,” all three women confront questions of identity, independence, love, and the dreams that were postponed. The story blends the pulse of late sixties music with a family’s journey toward self-discovery and renewal. Eliza Knight is an award-winning, internationally bestselling author of numerous novels. She created the History Undressed blog, co-hosts the History, Books and Wine podcast, holds an MFA in creative writing from Drexel University, and teaches writing. Joining the discussion is Mary Ann Lindley, a longtime newspaper columnist recognized for coverage of Florida politics, community issues, and American culture. Her career includes leading the New York Times’ Florida capital bureau, serving as a state news editor at The Miami Herald, and chairing the editorial board of the Tallahassee Democrat. She later served on the Leon County Commission and returned to writing with her book Fragments.
