The New York City Chapter of the Historical Novel Society presents this special program recorded on June 7, 2025 in the virtual reality space of the Foremothers Café. Helen Lundström Erwin hosted us in her VR space inspired by the research she conducted for her book Sour Milk in Sheep’s Wool. She invited our members to a discussion of images provided by authors Loretta Goldberg (Beyond the Bukubuk Tree: a World War II Novel of Love and Loss ), Faith L. Justice (Theodosian Women series ) and Sarah Relyea (Playground Zero). They talked about the images and their relationship to their books; social customs dealing with marriage and gay/lesbian relationships in the times they write about, and much more. A fascinating program for our writers and readers alike.
