Suggestions for books to discuss in 2024 are needed. Please send to tonilin@aol.com .
The list of the books for January and February 2024 is included below.
January 8, 2024 The Guest by Emma Cline – 2023, 294 pp. From NYT review, “Under Cline’s command, every sentence as sharp as a scalpel, a woman toeing the line between welcome and unwelcome guest becomes a fully destabilizing force. And not just for her hosts, but for the novel itself.”
February 13, 2024 Moral Hazards by Tim Martin — 2020, 354 pp. The author, Tim Martin, will be with us to discuss the book. If you would like to buy a copy of the book, please let Toni know.
“A woman fights to protect the victims of sexual violence in the world’s largest refugee camp in Martin’s debut political thriller. … Martin’s prose is precise and powerful throughout this novel. …The deftly constructed characters help to give life to these issues while also involving readers in their particular plights.”
“A well-crafted novel that’s both informative and dramatically satisfying.” Kirkus Review
