Book Reading, April 6, 2026

Author Edith Forbes will be here to discuss and read from her new novel, The Lawnmower Lady! The lawnmower lady is Fay Kirkwood, a grumpy offshoot of an old New England family who left behind social connections to live on a country farm. Having dropped dead at age 78, she is horrified to discover that she is still here, watching helplessly as her niece carries out a wish she had meant as a joke, to have her body taken into the woods to feed wildlife. This unorthodox “green burial” launches a chain reaction of consequences far beyond anything Fay intended or imagined, but she is powerless to intervene.
