May's Novel: City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty

UPDATE: We have changed our reserved spot in Barquentine Brewing to allow for a bigger event. We now have three of the four tables along the east wall for our group.
***

Please join us for a discussion of May's novel: 'City of Brass' by S.A. Chakraborty

Our meetings start loosely as people come in, get settled, and go to acquire what food and beverages they like. After everyone arrives or about a half hour has passed, we officially start the book discussion. Towards the end we set plans for the book poll and future meetings.

This meeting is at Barquentine Brewing Company. The brewery offers a variety of drinks and is part of Edgewater Public Market which has a wide range of small restaurants from which orders can be carried in. Please purchase what you can from Barquentine to be courteous to the company hosting us.

May's book description:
'City of Brass' by S.A. Chakraborty (2017) - 544 pages

Nahri has never believed in supernatural magic. Certainly, she has power; on the streets of eighteenth-century Cairo, she is a con woman of unsurpassed talent. But she knows better than anyone that the trades she uses to get by—palm readings, zars, and a mysterious gift for healing—are all tricks, both the means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles and a reliable way to survive.

But when Nahri accidentally summons Dara, an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior, to her side during one of her cons, she’s forced to reconsider her beliefs. For Dara tells Nahri an extraordinary tale: across hot, windswept sands teeming with creatures of fire and rivers where the mythical marid sleep, past ruins of once-magnificent human metropolises and mountains where the circling birds of prey are more than what they seem, lies Daevabad, the legendary city of brass―a hidden city of djinn to which Nahri is irrevocably bound.
