Tara Conklin, bestselling author of "The House Girl," sits down with Nancy Pearl at the Women's University Club to talk about reading, writing, and being a novelist. Conklin's 2019 book, "The Last Romantics," is an expansive family saga about siblings dislodged by crisis. She talks about the pressures of writing a second novel after a successful first one, the difficulties of basing a plot on a real-life personal event, and why this book is written in an unusual narrative style.
