Novel Featuring Fictional Wenham Among Top Local Reads

The novel "Enon," which is placed in a fictional version of Wenham - the hometown of its Pulitzer Prize-winning author Paul Harding - is one of the top 20 most read books at Hamilton-Wenham Library this month.

Harding told the San Francisco Chronicle earlier this month that Enon is a fictional town on the North Shore inspired by Wenham that he said is "dominated by old wealth, cold weather, strong spines and frugal habits."
