Elizabeth’s love of books began with reading aloud The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall, and led to discovering the series’ inspiration: Little Women. Elizabeth is a Jane Austenite, a lover of golden age murder mysteries as well as contemporary fiction with a magical twist found in the work of Jesmyn Ward, Alice Hoffman, and Erin Morgenstern. She is currently the assistant manager at an independent bookstore in New Haven.
