We were proud to be a co-sponsor of an author event 
Meet Peter Zheutlin, author of Spin: A Novel Based on a (Mostly) True Story
THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 7:00—8:00 PM
By ZOOM as offered by the Weymouth Public Library

SPIN is based on the true story of Peter’s ancestor, a Jewish mother from Boston who, on June 25, 1894, stood before a crowd of 500 friends, family, suffragists and curious onlookers at the Massachusetts State House. Annie Cohen Kopchovksy then climbed onto a 42-pound Columbia bicycle to begin a bicycle trip around the world, and, according to the Boston Evening Transcript, “sailed away like a kite down Beacon Street.” It was, declared Joseph Pulitzer’s New York World more than fifteen months later, “the most extraordinary journey ever undertaken by a woman.”
