Author Event: Evanthia Bromiley "Crown"

**This event is hosted by Maria's Bookshop**

Join us in The Rochester Hotel Garden for an author event with debut author, Evanthia Bromiley. Evanthia's talk will be followed by a question & answer period with an opportunity to have copies of 'Crown' signed by Evanthia. 'Crown' will be available for purchase at the event and is available for pre-order prior to its June 17, 2025 publication date.

Poetic and distinct, the voices of the three Woods open to a chorus of waitresses and oil men, veterans and graffiti artists as Crown trawls the laundromats, social service offices, and waiting rooms of a forgotten blue-collar city. In this mesmerizing, singular debut, the tenacious spirit of a young family and their community comes to profound and moving life.
