When Nova Ren Suma’s debut young adult novel Imaginary Girls landed on the shelves in 2011, the world didn’t know what hit them - all they knew was that they wanted more. And Nova Ren Suma has complied. She followed up with 17 & Gone (another grab you by the heart & run story), and now her newest novel, The Walls Around Us is out, and she’s outdone herself again. The novel’s words tumble off the pages and fill our souls with secrets, guilt, and a whirlwind of emotions as we learn the stories of the living and the dead. WAMC's Katie Britton spoke with Nova Ren Suma about new the novel, and how it came to be set in Saratoga Springs.
You can meet Nova RenSuma this Sunday, April 26th, at Oblong Books in Rhinebeck NY at 4PM. She’ll be speaking and signing books with Lance Rubin & Tommy Wallach.
