LGBTQ+ Queer Fiction Book Club - The House of the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
Waggon and Horses, 1 Surbiton Hill Road, Surbiton, Surrey KT6 4TW, Surbiton, GBQUEER FICTION BOOK CLUB!
Our next read will be ‘The House of the Cerulean Sea’ by TJ Klune
Synopsis:
Book Description
A cosy, enchanting story about the profound experience of discovering an unlikely family in an unexpected place. The House in the Cerulean Sea is an uplifting, heart-warming queer fantasy from TJ Klune, a Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author.
Linus Baker leads a quiet life. At forty, he has a tiny house with a devious cat and his beloved records for company. And at the Department in Charge of Magical Youth, he’s spent many dull years monitoring their orphanages. Then, one day, everything changes.
Linus is summoned by Extremely Upper Management and given a highly classified assignment. He must travel to an orphanage where six dangerous children reside – including the Antichrist.
At the orphanage, Linus must somehow determine if these children could bring about the end of days. But their guardian, the charming and enigmatic Arthur Parnassus, will do anything to protect his wards. And, as Arthur and Linus grow ever closer, Linus must choose: his duty, or his dreams . . .
