"Town & Country" by Brian Schaefer is set in a fictional rural community just outside of city limits that has become a popular weekend getaway for a clique of gay second homeowners. The novel is set amid a congressional race between an ambitious young politician and a local bar owner, with a wide cast of characters that are so authentically human, they feel like our own family, friends, and neighbors by the final pages. Early readers have identified Brian as a writer to watch, and the trades are calling it “thoroughly engaging and intelligent (Kirkus), “engrossing” (Publishers Weekly), and “heartbreakingly authentic” (Booklist). Reserved Seating is available when "Town & Country" is pre-ordered from Warwick's Only books purchased from Warwick's will be signed. Please call the Warwick's Book Dept. (858) 454-0347 for details.
