On Wednesday evening, Joyce Maynard, whose new book is How the Light Gets In (Morrow) was in conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winner Richard Russo at the Music Hall in Portsmouth, N.H. The two talked about their love of books and their shared love of Maynard's home state of New Hampshire. Russo said, "If ever we needed a novel capable of healing our troubled, world-weary souls, that time is now, and that book is How the Light Gets In." (photo: Emily McNair)
