John Burnham Schwartz- "The Commoner" Book Discussion & Signing (The author of "Reservation Road" January 30, 2008

Meticulously researched and superbly imagined, The Commoner is the mesmerizing, moving, and surprising story of a brutally rarefied and controlled existence at once hidden and exposed, and of a complex relationship between two isolated women who, despite being visible to all, are truly understood only be each other.

From the author of "Reservation Road," which is being made into a motion picture based on his screenplay, starring Joaquin Phoenix, Mark Ruffalo, and Jennifer Connelly.
