Authors to discuss strong female characters in Chicago on February 16
S For Story/10647525
Author Charlene Wexler will discuss her award-winning novel 'Farewell to South Shore;' Alina Rubin will discuss her novel "A Girl With a Knife"
CHICAGO - s4story -- Two strong female authors will talk about the strong female main characters of their novels when Charlene Wexler and Alina Rubin speak at the Chicago Loop Synagogue, 16 S. Clark St., Chicago, at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 16.
Wexler will discuss her latest book, Farewell to South Shore, and Rubin will speak about her latest novel, A Girl With a Knife.
Wexler's Farewell to South Shore, about growing up and coming of age, taps into and articulates a woman's emotions related to the changing world of the second half of the 20th Century, particularly its expectations of women. The book inspires perseverance and determination to help take charge of one's own life, as the protagonist, Sherrie, tackles a world vastly different than the idyllic South Shore Chicago community in which she grew up.

Farewell to South Shore was named a Bronze Award winner in the contemporary fiction category of the Global Book Awards, and a Four Seasons Book Award Fall Finalist in 2024.
Rubin's A Girl With a Knife tells the story of Ella, a young woman who wants to be a physician, which is not allowed in early 19th century England. To fulfill her dream, Ella must disguise herself as a man. As she excels in medical school, dogged by fear of discovery Ella must choose between truth and lies, and distinguish between real and false friends, before her pretense is uncovered.

Discounted parking ($10 for 12 hours, ask for coupon when you arrive at event) is available at the Madison-Washington-Wells Garage at 172 W. Madison St.
