Debut author Anne Fortier discusses her novel Juliet, inspired in part by the Shakespearean tragedy.

Julie Jacobs inherits a key to a safety-deposit box in Italy that holds an old family treasure. Soon she begins a perilous journey into the history of her ancestor Giulietta, whose legendary love for a young man named Romeo rocked the foundations of medieval Siena, where she discovers that she also inherited Mercutio’s curse—and that she is its next target.

The event is presented by Rainy Day Books. The book will be available for sale.
