Chris Bohjalian, the New York Times bestselling author of such acclaimed historical fiction as Hour of the Witch and The Sandcastle Girls will visit Northshire to discuss his latest bestselling novel, The Jackal's Mistress , with Joe Donahue of WAMC/Northeast Public Radio. In this Civil War love story, inspired by a real-life friendship across enemy lines, the wife of a missing Confederate soldier discovers a wounded Yankee officer and must decide what she’s willing to risk for the life of a stranger.
