SoDu Gallery, 1102B Duval, Key West presents a book signing by Jane Louise Newhagen for thsi month’s Frist Friday Art Stroll, April 7, from 6-8pm. Her latest book entitles, Chambered Nautilus, explores the themes of love, family, and the ways we are dishonest with ourselves and others. It is a historical novel that takes place in Key West, Florida in the decades surrounding the turn of the 20th century. Sarah Sawyer, an orphan raised by her aunt, fulfills her dreams of becoming a painter and marrying a handsome husband to generously provide for her. Her good fortune is seemingly consumed along with much of the city by the Great Fire of 1886 and Sarah again fends for herself as she provides for her daughter and the foundling girl who is abandoned in her care.
 
With Chambered Nautilus, Jane Louise Newhagen has created yet another spellbinding novel that weaves together the realities of life in Key West, Florida at the turn of the 20th Century and a fictional story that you won’t want to put down.
“Lovers of the charms of modern Key West will find Jane Newhagen’s Chambered Nautilus: A Tale of Old Key West a fascinating read. Newhagen’s carefully researched novel fuses a story about a sympathetic, humanly flawed heroine with rich period detail about the beloved island’s nineteenth century past. Stories that educate as they entertain are treasures. Chambered Nautilus is one.”  —  Wally Lamb, author of She’s Come Undone and I’ll Take You There
