Author Talk: Margaret Wilkerson Sexton

The Mill Valley Public Library is proud to present an evening with Oakland’s own Margaret Wilkerson Sexton, bestselling author of The Revisioners and A Kind of Freedom to talk about her newest novel, On the Rooftop.

A Reese’s Book Club Pick, On the Roopftop tells the story of a mother whose dream of musical stardom for her three daughters collides with the daughters’ ambitions for their own lives—set against the backdrop of gentrifying 1950s San Francisco.

Warm, gripping, and wise, with echoes of Fiddler on the Roof, Margaret Wilkerson Sexton’s latest novel is a moving family portrait from “a writer of uncommon nerve and talent” (New York Times Book Review).

Our bookseller for this program is Book Passage Corte Madera.
