This Friday, The Voracious Reader in Larchmont will be rolling out
the red carpet for a member of the royal family.
HRH Princess Sophie Audouin-Mamikonian-a descendent of the Armenian
throne as well as a best-selling French author of young adult fantasy
fiction-will be at the Larchmont bookseller signing copies of her
Tara Duncan book series.
According to her biography, Princess Sophie's family fled to Russia
200 years ago to escape persecution in their native country, until
the Bolsheviks exiled them to France in 1917. In 1990, the Armenian
government asked Princess Sophie to return to Armenia from France to
act as Queen, however, she refused, not wanting to burden a struggling
country with the costs of supporting a royal family.
Aspiring to become the next J.K. Rowling, Princess Sophie's Tara Duncan
series draws parallels to the famed Harry Potter books. Tara Duncan
is a powerful spellbinder who travels to Otherworld to rescue her
mother, while encountering many unicorns, elves, dragons and other
magical creatures along the way.
In addition to the book signing, Princess Sophie's 22-year-old
daughter, Princess Marine-an aspiring pop star-will perform French
karaoke along with Larchmont resident and performer Armelle Gloaguen.
The book signing will take place this Friday at the Voracious Reader
in Larchmont at 6:30 p.m.
