A large crowd was energized and delighted to hear from Ilyon Woo in our final author talk of the Fall 2025 series

In spite of a little rain, the crowd for our final author talk of the Fall 2025 series was energized and delighted to hear from Ilyon Woo about her Pulitzer prize winning book, Master Slave Husband Wife.  Thanks to all who came out and to the folks who attended virtually.

Through Sara DiVello’s masterful interviewing we learned so much about Woo’s impetus for writing the book, her research, and her feelings about the characters in this amazing and harrowing true story of escape from slavery.  We also learned she is writing a children’s version of this courageous couple from scratch to teach and engage that age group about an important part of our history.

To all who missed it, the video recording is available on our FOSEL Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/FriendsoftheSouthEndLibrary
