Travel Bug Book Talk - Tilt

Join us for an informal book discussion.

Tilt by Emma Pattee
eBook audio book

Set over the course of a single day, Tilt, Patee’s electrifying debut, follows one woman’s journey across a transformed city, carrying the weight of her past and a fervent hope for the future. Last night, you and I were safe. Last night, in another universe, your father and I stood fighting in the kitchen.

Annie is nine months pregnant and shopping for a crib at IKEA when a massive earthquake hits Portland, Oregon. With no way to reach her husband, no phone or money, and a city left in chaos, there’s nothing to do but walk. Making her way across the wreckage of Portland, Annie experiences human desperation and kindness: strangers offering help, a riot at a grocery store, and an unlikely friendship with a young mother. As she walks, Annie reflects on her struggling marriage, her disappointing career, and her anxiety about having a baby. If she can just make it home, she’s determined to change her life.

Discussion group is hosted in Travel Bug the last Tuesday of the month by Aimee Gwynne Franklyn, an independent curator, literary enthusiast, art consultant and producer based in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Everyone welcome! A glass of beer or wine on us!
