Program Description

Event Details

New Canaan Library is thrilled to welcome best-selling author Elin Hilderbrand to discuss her highly anticipated new novel, The Academy, in conversation with author Annabel Monaghan.

The Academy is co-authored by Elin Hilderbrand and her daughter, Shelby Cunningham. It's a story about life at a New England boarding school, following an intertwined cast of characters over the course of a year. The novel explores the bonds formed and broken, secrets revealed, and the transformative impact on students and staff at Tiffin Academy. This book marks a new direction for Hilderbrand, moving beyond her usual Nantucket setting.
