The next book club pick: The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

“And my sister, my Lindsey, left me in her memories, where I was meant to be.”

“Murderers are not monsters, they're men. And that's the most frightening thing about them.”

Susie, our narrator in this haunting tale, is a teenage girl watching from her own personal heaven as her family and neighborhood cope with the aftermath of her tragic death. This book is heart-wrenching, yet hopeful - an exploration of grief and the resilience of love.

El libro del club es 'Retrato de Dorian Gray' de Oscar Wilde. "Todo arte es a la vez superficie y símbolo. Es al espectador, y no a la vida, a quien el arte realmente refleja." 

Narra la historia de un joven apuesto que vende su alma para conservar su juventud eterna. Mientras él permanece intacto, su retrato pintado al óleo envejece y se corrompe con cada uno de sus pecados y actos malvados. La obra es una profunda reflexión filosófica sobre el narcisismo, la moralidad y la obsesión por las apariencias en la sociedad. 

Te esperamos en el club.
