Project Manager Sarah Zettel writes: This week Book View Café welcomes Sarah Smith as the latest author-member of the BVC team. Smith has written the modern standalone Chasing Shakespeares (about the Shakespeare authorship controversy), and three historical mysteries: The Vanished Child, The Knowledge of Water, and A Citizen of the Country. …Child and …Water were named New York Times Notable Books of the Year. They’ve been published in twelve languages and in the UK, and have reached bestseller status here and abroad. Chasing Shakespeares has been made into a play, and The Vanished Child has been optioned for film.
For her launch, Book View Cafe is offering Smith’s short story, “Seeing the Edge”, which is the first of a group of stories published together as Future Boston. That collection tells the story of Boston from 1988 to 2100, during which time the city sinks and aliens eventually discover it.
