Author Conversation with Karen Dukess
Join other readers at the beautiful five-star Wequassett Resort for an afternoon of celebrating author Caro Claire Burke’s sensational debut novel Yesteryear! A copy of the book is included.
July 30th | Grand Pavilion | Check-in Opens at 11:30 and the Program begins at 12pm. $145
A hardcover copy of the book is included with the ticket price, as is the buffet luncheon, coffee, dessert, resort gratuities, and all related fees. Books will be available for pickup at the bookstore via your name between July 9th and July 29th. Otherwise it will be at the Wequassett for you on July 30th.
Because it is a bit like hosting a wedding, and final numbers are guaranteed to the venue in advance, tickets are non-refundable. We do, however, maintain a wait list and are happy to facilitate an exchange of tickets if you should find yourself unable to attend as the event approaches. Visit the Literary Luncheon Website page at www.booksonthecape.com/literaryluncheons2026 to submit any change requests in writing. It is more efficient than calling the bookstore..
Event rooms are subject to change, based on the needs of the resort.
No need to print out a physical ticket unless you prefer to; we will welcome you to the event using the list of names, or Book Club names.
Thank you for your support of this incredible experience! The cultural conversation around this title (optioned by Anne Hathaway!) makes our Yesteryear event very timely! We are looking forward to hearing your thoughts
