Novelist A.J. Finn Featured at Darien Library’s Novel Tea Luncheon Wednesday
|
Darien Library’s 3rd Annual Novel Tea fundraiser featuring author A.J. Finn starts at 12 noon Wednesday at Wee Burn Country Club. Finn’s debut novel, The Woman in the Window, is the most widely acquired debut novel of all time, with rights sold in 38 languages around the world. On its publication in January 2018, the book became the first debut novel in twelve years — and only the third ever — to debut at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, where it remained for an entire month. The film adaptation of The Woman in the Window is currently in development at Fox, which bought the rights in a seven-figure deal. The movie will be produced by Oscar winner Scott Rudin, of The Social Network and The Grand Budapest Hotel, and written by Tracy Letts, the Pulitzer- and Tony-winning playwright of August: Osage County.
