WORDS Book Group


Details
This book group focuses on authors and stories that explore diverse and underrepresented voices and experiences.
This month's book is "The Familiar" by Leigh Bardugo.
A little about the book:
In a shabby house, on a shabby street, in the new capital of Madrid, Luzia Cotado uses scraps of magic to get through her days of endless toil as a scullion. But when her scheming mistress discovers the lump of a servant cowering in the kitchen is actually hiding a talent for little miracles, she demands Luzia use those gifts to better the family's social position. What begins as simple amusement for the bored nobility takes a perilous turn when Luzia garners the notice of Antonio Pérez, the disgraced secretary to Spain's king.
Books are available at the Main Desk at the Nevins Library for one month before this meeting. New members are always welcome.
