Charlie Lovett's highly anticipated second novel is here. First Impressions: a Novel of Old Books, Unexpected Love, and Jane Austen is out today from Viking Press.  In his new book, Lovett's protagonist Sophie Collingwood finds herself in the midst of a literary mystery. While Sophie is working in an antiquarian bookstore, two customers request the second edition of an obscure 18th Century book of Allegories. The books calls into question the rightful authorship of Pride and Prejudice. Lovett masterfully moves between present day England and the world of Jane Austen during the late 18th Century. Charlie stopped by WFDD to tell Bethany Chafin more.    

 
You can hear Charlie October 16th at the Bookmark's sponsored Book Release Celebration for First Impressions at 7:00pm at Summit School in Winston-Salem.    
 
To hear Charlie's extended interview, tune in to Triad Arts Weekend tomorrow at 1:00pm and Sunday at 4:00pm.
