Event Details

Meet us at Carnelian Coffee, 2428 West Colorado Avenue, on the first Sunday of each month from 1-2:30 p.m. to discuss that month's book club selection. Refreshments will be available for purchase.

April's selection is The Overstory by Richard Powers, which won the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

From goodreads.com ..

The Overstory is a sweeping, impassioned work of activism and resistance that is also a stunning evocation of—and paean to—the natural world. From the roots to the crown and back to the seeds, Richard Powers’s 12th novel unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables that range from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. There is a world alongside ours—vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us. This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe.

Please note: May's selection is The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson. Copies from a 12-item book club set will be made available during April's meeting.
