Book Club Meetup: Pearce Oysters by Joselyn Takacs
Bar Café Milano, Amalienstraße 44, München, DEThis June, we’re heading to the Louisiana Gulf Coast with Pearce Oysters, a moving family drama set during the 2010 BP Oil Spill. After the sudden death of his father, Jordan Pearce finds himself struggling to keep his family’s oyster business—and his fractured family—afloat as environmental disaster threatens everything they’ve ever known.
Richly atmospheric and deeply human, this novel explores grief, class, family loyalty, and survival in a community caught between industry and nature. Perfect for readers who love character-driven stories with emotional depth and a strong sense of place.
⚠️ Content warnings: Grief, addiction, animal death
Join us for an evening of thoughtful discussion, good company, and community with fellow readers.
