SUMMARY:Anderson's Bookshop Presents Katherine Arden
DESCRIPTION:Join Anderson’s Bookshop for an author event with Katherine Arden\, to celebrate the release of The Unicorn Hunters\, on Wednesday\, June 10th at 6:00 pm in our Downers Grove store. \nEvent Format \nWe will begin checking you in approximately 30 minutes before the start time. After a presentation and Q&A with the author\, the line will form in numbered order with the following guidelines: \n\nPosed photo with your camera taken by our staff\nThere is a limit of 2 books from home to be signed (unless otherwise stated)\nThere is a limit of 1 personalization (unless otherwise stated)\n\nAll events have open seating. The “Order Line Number” on your pdf ticket is your reserved place in the signing line. You will line up to meet the author based on that number. \nIf you cannot attend\, you must pick up your book (if included with ticket) at the hosting store within 30 days of the event.  We can ship that book to you for an additional charge of $9.99; please call the store to arrange that. \nPre-registration is required for this event because space is limited. \nMore about The Unicorn Hunters: \nIn a desperate gamble to save her throne\, a young monarch conceals a secret marriage in the shadows of an enchanted forest—and unknowingly alters the fate of her world—in this dazzling novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Bear and the Nightingale. \nThis otherworldly hardcover edition includes an illustrated jacket\, a foil-stamped case\, and designed full-color endpapers! \n“I loved every moment I spent in this magical\, dangerous\, and haunted realm in the company of its clever and captivating duchess.”—Naomi Novik\, author of A Deadly Education \nAnne of Brittany was a child when France invaded and drove her royal father to his death. Now she is a young woman\, sovereign duchess of an occupied realm\, and France means to crown their conquest by marrying her to their king. Such an alliance would put her title\, her lands\, and her body forever in the hands of her enemies. \nBut Anne refuses to be the last duchess of Brittany. \nHer only hope of resisting conquest is another alliance sealed with marriage\, so Anne arranges a daring last gambit: a secret betrothal to Charles of France’s greatest rival. But secrets are hard to keep in a world where rival courts spy on each other with diviners. \nThe forest of Brocéliande was once the haunt of Merlin the Enchanter and the long-lost faerie queen. But magic is long gone from Broceliande\, except for the occasional sight of a unicorn and one critical quirk: This ancient forest is completely hostile to divination. \nWhile pretending compliance with France\, Anne plans a unicorn hunt in Brocéliande. A bit of pointless pageantry. A diversion so she can wed in secret. \nOr so she thinks. \nIn this rich and epic novel\, the author of the acclaimed Winternight trilogy turns the real history of a remarkable woman into an unforgettable tale of mystery\, enchantment\, and the price of power. \nAbout the Author:  \nKatherine Arden is the New York Times bestselling author of The Warm Hands of Ghosts\, the Winternight trilogy\, and the Small Spaces Quartet. In addition to writing\, she enjoys aimless travel\, growing flowers\, and running wild through the woods with her dog\, Moose. She lives in Vermont.

SUMMARY:Tivoli Theatre - After Hours Film Society Presents - Late Shift
DESCRIPTION:CAST & CREW\nDirected by Petra Volpe\nFeaturing Leonie Benesch\, Sonja Riesen\, Alireza Bayram\nIn German with English subtitles\nRunning Time: 92 mins.\nNot rated\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMOVIE REVIEW\nLate ShiftA Nurse’s Work Is Never Done in a Tightly Wound Overnight Drama\nReviewed by Guy Lodge | VarietyThere’s a thin\, squiggly tattoo running down the forearm of diligent hospital nurse Floria\, always visible past the short sleeves of her royal-blue scrubs\, but hard to really get a look at\, since her hands are constantly in motion\, doggedly busy. Occasionally\, as we follow her through the exhausting nighttime rounds that make up “Late Shift\,” we catch a glimpse of the ink and wonder what it is\, what it means\, what it says of this woman’s life outside long hours of caring for strangers. Perhaps even Floria\, bleary after hours on her feet\, sometimes spots it and is reminded of who she is. Petra Volpe‘s pacy\, empathetic workplace drama ostensibly shows us only its protagonist’s professional persona\, though that sometimes cracks and parts to reveal a fallible human in need of some care herself. \nFloria is played by Leonie Benesch\, the German actor with the clear\, direct gaze and straight\, taut stance who recently starred as the embattled educator in “The Teachers’ Lounge” and the cool-headed translator in “September 5.” Her appearance in “Late Shift” suggests she’s become a go-to thesp for roles that pit roiling human disorder against a veneer of brisk professional capability. Volpe’s script\, like any hospital floor\, is stacked with various disparate narrative matters of literal life and death\, but it’s Benesch’s presence that gives the film much of its tension\, as we wonder at what point her character’s brittle efficiency is going to snap. This gripping\, accessible and easily sellable Swiss-German production should also benefit commercially from the star’s rising profile\, following its Berlinale gala premiere. \nStructurally and thematically\, there’s nothing here to surprise any viewers acquainted with the classic hospital-drama format\, but the crisp\, swift execution makes it effective just the same. With its multiple braided plotlines and single-night timeline\, “Late Shift” could as easily be the extended pilot for a Euro spin on “ER\,” engrossing and emotive enough that you’d tune in for another episode. For Volpe\, the Swiss-Italian filmmaker hitherto best known for 2017’s feelgood feminist comedy “The Divine Order\,” it’s perhaps the slickest example yet of her mainstream but character-oriented storytelling sensibility — and a solid calling card for projects farther afield\, should she feel so inclined. \nThe film’s opening shot is witty and unexpected: rack upon rack of identical doctors’ and nurses’ smocks\, traveling steadily through the industrial laundry process\, alluding to further layers of weary human labor that keep the public healthcare system running. In a sterile locker room\, Floria puts on one such garment as she readies for her shift on the surgical ward of a major Zurich hospital\, exchanging small talk with a colleague\, and donning a box-fresh pair of sneakers that — spoiler alert — will look beat to hell in 12 hours’ time. The late shift is strenuous at the best of times\, with understaffing a default state. Tonight\, a key colleague is absent\, and the job facing Floria goes from challenging to unmanageable. \nAmong the 26 patients requiring her attention are Mr. Leu (Urs Bihler)\, an elderly man anxiously awaiting a cancer diagnosis from a doctor too busy to check in; Mrs. Bilgin (Eva Fredholm)\, a terminally ill woman whose three fretful adult sons are more of a burden on Floria’s time; Mrs. Morina (Lale Yavas)\, a cancer-stricken young mother debating whether or not to continue treatment; Mr. Song (Jeremia Chung)\, whose particular severe medication allergy is easily overlooked in the rush of rounds; and Mr. Severin (Jürg Plüss)\, a wealthy\, haughty private patient who believes he pays for his herbal tea orders to be the staff’s top priority. Atop all this\, Floria is charged with supervising nervous\, error-prone student nurse Amelie (Selma). Tempers fray as precious time runs out.\n​\nAs with his quick\, lithe cutting of “September 5” last year\, editor Hansjörg Weissbrich keeps all these strands (and several more besides) afloat and in touch with each other\, as the film’s rhythm conveys the breathless\, multi-tasking momentum of a high-stress\, high-stakes work environment. High emotion\, too\, is delivered in short doses\, rarely affording time for things to get maudlin\, though the script errs on that front here and there — while a prominent\, climactic use of the ANOHNI track “Hope There’s Someone” on the soundtrack is too bluntly literal by half. Indeed\, the film’s original German title (“Heldin\,” translating as “heroine”) feels unnecessary — telling us what is already vividly shown. In its cool\, propulsive procedural tracking of ward activity\, “Late Shift” quite sufficiently makes its point regarding the monumental challenge and value of Floria’s work\, and that of thousands like her. \n\n\nDISCUSSION FOLLOWS EVERY FILM!\n$7.00 Members | $11.00 Non-Members\nTIVOLI THEATRE\n5021 Highland Avenue  |  Downers Grove\, IL\n630-968-0219 |  classiccinemas.com\nWe apologize—Movie Pass cannot be used for AHFS programs

SUMMARY:Pinecone Cottage Tea House - A Woodland Faerie Afternoon Tea
DESCRIPTION:Woodland faeries are magical creatures that have a whimsical connection to nature. The Fay have inspired this Woodland Faerie Afternoon Tea featuring herbs\, fruit\, spring veggies\, flowers\, and of course\, mushrooms. There are many signs to look out for which may reveal the presence of Forest Faeries. Faeries often arrange torn leaves to send messages to their faerie friends. They may also sprinkle faerie dust along mossy trails to guide others back to their homes. Because faeries prefer their dwellings to stay hidden\, their homes are cleverly concealed—often tucked into knot holes in old tree stumps. Even though Forest Faeries prefer the security of the ground\, remember that Tree Faeries live high in the treetops too!\nChef Pam \nAfternoon Tea Served by Reservation Only\nAge Requirement 13 yrs +\nThree Course Prix Fixe Afternoon Tea | 62\nGluten Free\, Dairy Free\, Vegetarian or Vegan Options | 67\nPrice Includes 20% Gratuity\nBYOB Wine or Beer | 10 per bottle \nRecommended Teas\nFeatured Tea – Wild Raspberry Oolong\nIced tea – Ginger-Chamomile-Orange | 5\nTeatail – Botanical-Strawberry Limeade | 7\nLavender-Lime-Mint and Strawberry Sunshine Loose Tea with Strawberry Syrup and Lime Juice \nBeginnings\nEnchanted Woodland Faerie Salad with Strawberry-Lemon-Poppyseed Tea Bread \nSavories and PineScones\nSpring Mushroom Pie\nRainbow Chard Wrap\nGreen Goddess-Veggie Tea Sandwich\nForest Elf Chèvre Crostini\nCarrot Cake PineScone with Cinnamon Devon Crème and Mixed Berry Preserves \nSweet Endings\nMagical Chocolate Hedgehog and Vanilla Acorn\nForest Moss Cocoa Cupcake\nWoodland Pixie Fruit Tart \nPinecone Cottage Weekend Afternoon Tea and Teatorial Policy\nPinecone Cottage is now taking Weekend Afternoon Tea and Event reservations on our website.
