As part of our series, Commit to Your Community, we are hosting a discussion of Clare Pooley's bestselling novel The Authenticity Project. This is the perfect way into our topic if you're in the mood for a quick, accessible read featuring a quirky ensemble cast, a trendy London setting, and even a little romance in the mix. Pooley's easy, humorous tone whisks the reader along as the characters discover the value of forming real-life community and support networks, without smartphones and other electronic aids. As a special perk, Clare Pooley herself will be joining us all the way from England for an author talk on Saturday, November 14 at 10am. Sign up for her talk here.

Request a copy of the book through our online catalog or by calling 781-619-1100.
