Kyle McCarthy with Danielle Evans: IMMERSIONS: A NOVEL

Kyle McCarthy launches her new novel, IMMERSIONS, on the Ivy patio! Taut and spellbinding, IMMERSIONS follows the aftermath of a celebrated dancer’s abrupt decision to quit her company and join an enclosed convent in France, and her younger sister’s obsessive conviction that her sister’s ex-husband is responsible. With art, family, and questions of desire front-and-center, this is a novel you’ll be thinking about long after you read it. Danielle Evans will join McCarthy for a conversation that’s sure to stick with us all long after the event. We’ll see you there! RSVP here! Order IMMERSIONS here!
