Rachel Beanland with Maisy Card

By An Unlikely Story

Celebrate the paperback release of the bestselling novel FLORENCE ADLER SWIMS FOREVER with the author, Rachel Beanland! Award-winning author of THESE GHOSTS ARE FAMILY, Maisy Card will interview Rachel during this virtual event. Rachel will discuss the inspiration behind her novel that USA Today named one of the "Best Books of 2020". FLORENCE ADLER SWIMS FOREVER follows three generations of the Adler family grappling with heartbreak, romance, and family secrets over the course of one summer. Our Unlikely bookseller Annie staff picked FLORENCE and said it's a "Bittersweet story tenderly delivered and with nuanced characters. The seven multiple points of view were distinctive, in-depth, and engaging. The setting, Atlantic City in the summer of 1934, sizzled with energy--I could practically hear the waves crashing and smell the salt air! The darkness encroaching on those of the Jewish faith during this time period is delicately and honestly depicted. The story opens with tragedy but ends with a strong sense of hope and the enduring devotion of family. Beautifully written! A stunning debut by Rachel Beanland!"
