Jonatha Ceely Reads at Hotel Marlowe

Wednesday, February 1, 2006
6:15 PM to 7:00 PM
(During Wine Hour, which begins at 5:30 PM)

Jonatha Ceely grew up in Kingston, Ontario, and has lived in Turkey and Italy. For many years she taught literature, expository writing, and creative writing at the Winsor School in Boston. She and her husband, the composer Robert Ceely, now live and work in Brookline, Massachusetts, and in Blue Hill, Maine. Her two historical novels reflect her wide ranging interests in religion, myth, the literature of the 19th and 20th centuries, and cooking. She is presently working on a novel set in contemporary times,which explores issues of identity—genetic and psychological.

Porter Square Books will be selling books at this reading.

The Hotel Marlowe is located at 25 Edwin H. Land Boulevard, Cambridge. Inexpensive parking is available in the Cambridgeside Galleria garage with direct entry into the hotel from Levels A and C.
