Setting for "Unchained Memories" by Maria Imbalzano
"Unchained Memories" is a contemporary romance that takes place in
Princeton, NJ. The hero and heroine of my novel (Clay and Charlotte)
both live and work there; Clay as an ER doctor at Nassau General Hospital
and Charlotte, as a medical malpractice attorney at a local law firm.
The borough of Princeton is
dominated by Princeton University, a beautiful ivy league campus, with many
gothic style buildings. Clay lives in a condo near Palmer Square,
right in the center of town and Charlotte rents a furnished house a few blocks
north of the heart of Princeton.
In Charlotte's free time, she roams the Princeton University campus with
its many residence colleges (dorms).. Several photos are on my website. They are
(in the order presented) Prospect House Gardens (1,2,3), Nassau Hall (4), Mc
Carter Theater (5), University Chapel (6), Arched walkway between Holder Hall
and Hamilton Hall) (7), Alexander Hall (8), Blair Hall (9), Walkway toward
Nassau Street (10), Archway at Holder Hall (11), Graduate College (12) Cleveland
Tower (13, 14) and Pyne Hall (15).
The photo on the cover of the book is the Cleveland Tower at the Graduate College. The bells (67 of them weighing 12,996 pounds) play on Sunday afternoons and Wednesday evenings, except during exams.
Princeton University has two theaters on campus, McCarter Theater which
hosts dance troupes and plays and Richardson Auditorium at Alexander Hall which
has bands and ensembles. In one scene from the book, Charlotte and Clay go to
Pendleton Theater (based on McCarter Theater) to see "Cat on a Hot Tin
Roof".
Princeton University is a beautiful campus in a quaint town. The main sreet
is Nassau Street which has upscale shops and a mix of eateries which cater to
students as well as patrons from the area. Whether wandering the town or the
campus, you won't be at a loss for interesting destinations.
