Author Anne Burt will present about her debut novel, The Dig, at the the JCC's January Literary Luncheon on Wednesday, Januray 10 at 12:30 PM.
When Sarajevo-born siblings Antonia and Paul were adopted by a wealthy Midwestern family in the 1990s, a series of events with deadly consequences was set in motion. Informed by timely issues of immigration, capitalism, and justice, yet timeless in its themes of love, identity, and competing loyalties, The Dig, inspired by the Greek tragedy Antigone, portrays a woman at odds with her history, forced to choose between her own ambitions and her loyalty to her beloved, idealistic brother.
Anne Burt’s debut novel, The Dig, is an American Booksellers’ Association IndieNext pick and was chosen by The Strand Bookstore in NYC as its featured mystery novel for Spring 2023. Anne is also the editor of My Father Married Your Mother and coeditor, with Christina Baker Kline, of About Face. She is the mother of step-twins.
