On Tuesday, September 17th, join us at the Robert Louis Stevenson Museum for a unique evening featuring two fantastic women – Fanny Stevenson and Camille Peri! Fanny Stevenson, the fascinating and formidable wife of Robert Louis Stevenson has long been overlooked in the life of the well-known Scottish author, but now you can explore her life, her story, and her influence on the legacy of Robert Louis Stevenson. Camille Peri’s, A Wilder Shore, rescues Fanny and Robert Louis Stevenson’s story from the dusty shelves of academia to bring life to a marriage that thrived on tempests, adventures and chaotic fun that would have wilted most Victorian households. It takes the reader with them on a whirlwind tour of life across the globe at the turn of the century. The evening will feature a conversation between Camille and interviewer, Margaret Talbot of the New Yorker. All members of the community are welcome. Books will be available to purchase at the museum. For those who would like to ensure their seat at the conversation, please sign up online.
