Join GCPL and author Adele Myers as she discusses her debut historical fiction novel, “The Tobacco Wives.”

The Tobacco Wives is a vibrant novel set in 1946 North Carolina, the tobacco capital of the South. It follows a young female seamstress who uncovers dangerous truths about Big Tobacco and the wives of the powerful tobacco executives.

Myers re-imagines, from a feminist angle, one of the largest corporate frauds of the twentieth century. The question at the heart of this novel trembles with power—what happens when what we know is right conflicts with what we are being told is true?

Adele Myers grew up in Asheville, North Carolina, and has a journalism degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She currently works in advertising in Brooklyn, New York. The Tobacco Wives is her first novel.
