Literary Seminar with Kimberly Ford: Cassandra at the Wedding by Dorothy Baker

  • Kepler's 1010 El Camino Real #100 Menlo Park, CA United States (map)

Each seminar combines the deep pleasure of reading an exceptional novel with the depth of a college-level lecture. We are delighted to announce that this Series will take place in person at Kepler’s for the first time in three years. Please join us! For our out-of-town attendees, we will still have an option to attend virtually.

Cassandra at the Wedding, Dorothy Baker

Kimberly cannot understand why it took her so long to discover Baker—but, wow, will you be glad she did! The novel is so good, in fact, that it convinced Kimberly to return to the Seminars because she just had to share the book. Published in 1962, Cassandra is the story of twin sisters reuniting at their family’s California ranch on the eve of one twin’s wedding. The book is amazing: clear but ingeniously deep, harrowing but hilarious, ultra-smart and down to earth.

At the risk of raising overselling, Kimberly keeps wondering if it might just be the perfect novel. Join her for a deep dive to see if you love it as much as she does!

There are several ticket options that include all Seminars and books, book with purchase (either shipped to home or picked up at Kepler’s Books), or Seminar only. The book should be read prior to the meeting date.
