Authors Visiting in Des Moines (AViD) series: J. Ryan Stradal, author of Saturday Night at the Lakeside Supper Club and The Lager Queen of Minnesota

Best-selling author J. Ryan Stradal’s anticipated new novel, Saturday Night at the Lakeside Supper Club, will be released April 18. The book tells the story of a couple from two very different restaurant families in Minnesota and the legacy of love, tragedy, struggle and hope that unites and divides them. It continues Stradal’s signature style of crafting uniquely Midwest characters and stories. In a starred review, Kirkus said, “Stradal … displays his gift for writing female characters who are fully realized, sometimes unlikable, but always as flawed and compelling as real people.”
