CANCELED: Discuss The Girl Who Wrote In Silk, by Kelli Estes

We're postponing this one due to the pandemic shutdown, as well. Maybe we'll be up and running again by July.

Please join us Tuesday, June 16, when we'll discuss The Girl Who Wrote in Silk, by Kelli Estes

Inspired by true events, Kelli Estes's brilliant and atmospheric novel serves as a poignant tale of two women determined to do the right thing, and the power of our own stories. Inara Erickson is exploring her deceased aunt's island estate when she finds an elaborately stitched piece of fabric hidden in the house. As she peels back layer upon layer of the secrets it holds, Inara's life becomes interwoven with that of Mei Lein, a young Chinese girl mysteriously driven from her home a century before. Through the stories Mei Lein tells in silk, Inara uncovers a tragic truth that will shake her family to its core ― and force her to make an impossible choice.

Please RSVP so we know how many to expect. If you can't make it at the last minute, that's OK; just let us know by changing your RSVP on the site.

I try to arrive early but can't always. If you arrive first, please choose a spot and pull some tables together, depending on how many RSVPs we have.

(Alexandria Book Circle does not charge for membership or attendance. But with Meetup's recent rate increase -- now $15 a month -- it is necessary to put a collection box on the table at our discussions, for any small and completely voluntary contribution you'd like to make, to help defray the cost. Even the change you get back from buying your meal is appreciated.)

Hope to see you there!
