Join the Talk It Up! book club at Kingwood Branch Library in April as we read and discuss Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel.
"It is fifteen years after a flu pandemic wiped out most of the world's population. Kirsten is an actress with the Traveling Symphony, a small troupe moving over the gutted landscape, performing Shakespeare and music for scattered communities of survivors. But when they arrive in the outpost of St. Deborah by the Water, they encounter a violent prophet who digs graves for anyone who dares to leave. Spanning decades, moving back and forth in time, and vividly depicting life before and after the disaster brought everyone here, this suspenseful, elegiac novel is rife with beauty, telling a story about the relationships that sustain us."
A limited number of copies of the book selection are made available each month for check-out at the downstairs circulation desk at the branch.
