Ms. Makkai will be discussing her newly released novel, I Have Some Questions for You. The proceeds of the event will be donated to the Milwaukee Public Library.

The 2023 Spring Literary Luncheon will take place on Thursday, April 27, at the Wisconsin Club in Milwaukee. In person attendees will get to participate in the silent auction and enjoy lunch while watching the program. Online attendees will get a link to access the event via Zoom. All attendees will get a copy of the book, I Have Some Questions for You. Table sponsorships are also available. Table sponsors will get two tickets for a VIP event to meet the author in the Rare Books room at the Central branch of the Milwaukee Public Library on Wednesday, April 26.

I Have Some Questions for You is a riveting new novel following a successful film professor and podcaster, Bodie Kane. Bodie returns to her New Hampshire boarding school to teach a short course and finds herself drawn to a murder case from when she was a student there….and its apparent flaws. Is the real killer still out there? Was the man convicted innocent? TIME magazine, The Seattle Times, Good Housekeeping, Today.com, Southern Living, and CrimeReads called this the Most Anticipated Book of 2023. Vanity Fair called the story “Bewitching”. Zibby Owens from GoodMorningAmerica.com praised I Have Some Questions for You as “an un-put-downable, captivating boarding school mystery novel…the writing in this book is absolutely A+ sensational. Pure perfection.”
