Virtual Event: Hiawassee Book Club

In August the Hiawassee Book Club will discuss The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley.

The unnamed narrator, who works for Britain's Ministry of Defence sometime in the near future, is selected by the government to aid a newly formed agency to process time travelers from the past. Her assigned "expat" is real-life polar explorer Lt. Graham Gore, who has arrived in the future sometime before his death during the ill-fated 1845 Franklin expedition. He's a little disoriented to be living with an unmarried woman who regularly shows her calves, but with an appetite for discovery and the support of a charming and chaotic cast of fellow expats, he soon adjusts. The travelers must learn about plastics, social media, and a dizzying set of changes in their landscape. Graham has an easier time of it than the rest; he is also luckier than them as the sinister reasons for the experiment become more apparent.
