Hi Bee Members! We'll be reading the "Theo of Golden" by Allen Levi. The minute I saw this released at Barnes and Nobles I fell in love with simplistic design choice with the cream colored background. It's been in my TBR since and as of this past weekend, a lovely visitor came by to greet us during our last book club event and recommended this book to us. I took that as divine book gods telling me that now is the time to finally crack out this book. (Plus it was highly regarded by Denny!) So now, ladies & gentlemen, without further adieu, let's get together to read a modern classic: Theo of Golden!
You're welcome to attend even if you haven't quite finished the book, as long as you don't mind spoilers being discussed. Attendees should generally expect to order something to eat or drink.
Here's a description of the book:
One spring morning, a stranger arrives in the small southern city of Golden. No one knows where he has come from…or why…
His name is Theo. And he asks a lot more questions than he answers.
Theo visits the local coffeehouse, where ninety-two pencil portraits hang on the walls, portraits of the people of Golden done by a local artist. He begins purchasing them, one at a time, and putting them back in the hands of their “rightful owners.” With each exchange, a story is told, a friendship born, and a life altered.
A story of giving and receiving, of seeing and being seen, Theo of Golden is a beautifully crafted novel about the power of creative generosity, the importance of wonder to a purposeful life, and the invisible threads of kindness that bind us to one another.
Rated: 4.44 on Goodreads
