Books for Lunch

Join us for Books for Lunch on Friday, Feb. 7, 2025!

For 38 years, Books for Lunch has been a cornerstone of literary engagement, bringing renowned authors to the Hillsdale Campus for insightful mornings with Upper School students and memorable luncheons with educators, parents, and the wider Cincinnati community.

We’re delighted to welcome Colm Tóibín, author of the bestselling novel “Long Island,” as our 2025 Books for Lunch author.

The newest of Tóibín’s 11 novels is “Long Island,” a sequel to “Brooklyn.” The New York Times bestseller and Oprah’s Book Club pick revisits the life of Eilis Lacey, now in her 40s and a mother of two teenagers.

Over the years, Books for Lunch has included visits from literary luminaries such as Min Jin Lee, Barbara Kingsolver, Andrew Sean Greer, Tom Wolfe, Christina Baker Kline, Jennifer Egan, and Curtis Sittenfeld (a former Seven Hills student), among many others.
