Program Description

Join the Page Turners Book Club in welcoming Linda Schifino, a local author, and discussing her recent book, Neighborhood Girl: A Memoir of Loss, Longing, and Letting Go.

Ms. Schifino grew up on Larimer Avenue in East Liberty in a working class Italian neighborhood. She memorably describes her childhood there, as well as her coming to terms with the loss of so much of it as an adult. 

Books are available for purchase at Swissvale Library for a discounted price of $15. Come to the April 10th event to get author Linda Schifino to autograph your copy!

Linda welcomes conversation about any topics that come up: growing up in an old Italian neighborhood, growing up in ANY Pittsburgh neighborhood, the writing and publishing process, or the book itself.
