February Book Club Meeting: Big Swiss by Jen Beagin

The Globe Pub invites anyone and everyone to join our beer and book club. Our goal is to bring people together over books and beer to make new friends. Join us on the First Thursday of every month. Start time is 7pm.

February’s book is “Big Swiss” by Jen Beagin. Here is a brief synopsis:

Greta lives with her friend Sabine in an ancient Dutch farmhouse in Hudson, New York. The house is unrenovated, uninsulated, and full of bees. Greta spends her days transcribing therapy sessions for a sex coach who calls himself Om. She becomes infatuated with his newest client, a repressed married woman she affectionately refers to as Big Swiss.
One day, Greta recognizes Big Swiss’s voice in town and they quickly become enmeshed. While Big Swiss is unaware Greta has eavesdropped on her most intimate exchanges, Greta has never been more herself with anyone. Her attraction to Big Swiss overrides her guilt, and she’ll do anything to sustain the relationship…
