Mary Gordon’s latest book, There Your Heart Lies, is about an American woman’s experiences during the Spanish Civil War. It is also about the present day. The book travels in time from the 1930s to 2009, when the main character’s granddaughter also travels to Spain to walk in the footsteps of the past.

On Friday, June 9, Ms. Gordon will travel to the Vineyard and give a reading and talk at the Bunch of Grapes Bookstore. Ms. Gordon is the author of numerous novels and books of nonfiction and she will be available to sign books.

The event is from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at 23 Main street in Vineyard Haven.
