After a two-year hiatus, Ragdale Foundation’s beloved A Novel Affair event returned on April 30 to Shoreacres in Lake Bluff. Acclaimed authors and guests gathered for an evening of creativity and conversation in support of Ragdale, a renowned, nonprofit artists’ community located on the former Lake Forest estate of architect Howard Van Doren Shaw.
