New Adult Book Club
Adults
January’s book is "The Starless Sea" by Erin Morgenstern. Morgenstern’s second novel follows Zachary Rawlins, a graduate student in Vermont who discovers a mysterious book. As he turns the pages, he reads something strange: a story from his own childhood. Bewildered and desperate to make sense of how his own life came to be recorded, Zachary uncovers a series of clues—a bee, a key, and a sword—that lead him to a masquerade party in New York, to a secret club, and through a doorway to an ancient library hidden far below the surface of the earth.
For the safety of everyone, attendance is limited to the first 8 adults, social distancing will be enforced and masks are available if needed.
