Beyond The Page: Reading Selections From Author Emily Gray Tedrowe
Each month, Beyond The Page: A WGBH Book Club features a notable author, who takes part in a live Q&A with a WGBH personality to discuss the intricacies of that month's novel.

For its December edition, Beyond The Page selected Emily Gray Tedrowe's "The Talented Miss Farwell," an electrifying page-turner of greed and obsession, survival and self-invention that is a piercing character study of one unforgettable female con artist.
