Thank You, Charleston!
The Charleston Literary Festival was incredible! Paul Murray talked about his novel The Bee Sting, Claire Messud, one of my favorite authors of all time, spoke about her recent book, This Strange Eventful History, and Emily Wilson read from her translation of Homer’s The Iliad. All the talks were first-rate.
A big thank you to my friends, the writers Kate Betts and Dorothy Spears, for letting me tag along on this adventure. Besides the litfest, we had lunch at Chez Nous, which was exceptionally good, dinner at The Ordinary, also delicious, shopped Hampden and Wentworth, and wandered. Kate and Dorothy did the walking tour with Tommy Dew and said it’s a must. The people of Charleston were lovely and I am excited to return with my husband. Next trip, we will stay at The Dewberry or Zero George and I will add Fig, and the other restaurants recommended, to the list. Savannah, too.
Thank you, again, for all of the great suggestions, they made the trip memorable.
