Elizabeth Boatwright Coker Evening Post Books has released a biography of South Carolina’s “first lady of letters,” Elizabeth Boatwright Coker, authored by Coker’s daughter Penelope Coker Hall, granddaughter Eliza Wilson Ingle and Virginia Christian Beach. “A Curious Heart: The Life and Letters of Elizabeth Boatwright Coker” draws liberally from Coker’s letters, journal entries, book passages and interviews, revealing the inner life of this complex Southern woman who dreamed of becoming a published writer. Born in Darlington in an era when women could not vote and the legacy of the Civil War suffused nearly everything, she would go on to challenge the status quo in her life and her books.
Her life spanned most of the 20th century, the second half of which yielded nine historical novels. A presentation and book signing is scheduled for 6 p.m.
