Anchored by the title piece, this collection presents Beard at the height of her powers, revealing all that is tender and timeless beneath the way we live now. A New York Times Notable Book and a Boston Globe Best Book of the Year, Festival Days is an unforgettable collection destined to be embraced and debated by readers and writers alike.
