Since 2008, Talk It Up! Book Club at Kingwood Library has brought readers together to explore a variety of fiction and nonfiction. Our selections reflect the diverse interests of our curious, open-minded community and range across genres, themes, and perspectives.
Join us in September as we read and discuss The Latecomer by Jean Hanff Korelitz:
"The Oppenheimer triplets have been reared with every advantage: wealth, education, and the determined attention of at least one of their parents. But neither Harrison (the smart one), Lewyn (the weird one) nor Sally (the girl) suspects the devastating event that first set their family in motion, or understands how fully it has already formed them. Now, on the verge of their departure for college and desperate to escape one another at last, the triplets are forced to contend with an unexpected complication: a fourth Oppenheimer sibling, formerly a leftover embryo from their own long ago in vitro genesis, has just been born. What has possessed their parents to make such an unfathomable decision? How can the triplets begin to imagine the impact this unwanted latecomer will have on their lives, and the ways she will work to bring them home?"
A limited number of copies of the book selection are available to check out at the circulation desk downstairs.
