Richmond Book Club Jan 21, 2026 Meeting--The Lola Quartet (Emily St John Mandel)
Details
The Richmond Book Club's January meeting will be held Wednesday, January 21, 2026, beginning at 7:00 p.m., at the Capital Ale House, Midlothian, 13831 Village Place Drive. The book we're reading is The Lola Quartet (Emily St John Mandel, 2012).
From BookBrowse:
"Emily St John Mandel combines her most fully realized characters with perhaps her most fully developed story that examines the difficulty of being the person you'd like to be, loss, the way a small and innocent action can have disastrous consequences. The Lola Quartet is a work that pays homage to literary noir, is concerned with jazz, Django Reinhardt, economic collapse, love, Florida's exotic wildlife problem, crushing tropical heat, the leavening of the contemporary world, compulsive gambling, and the unreliability of memory."
The book is literary fiction full of detective story twists so there should be plenty to talk about. Please join us to discuss the book, socialize, and have something eat/drink. Let me know if you have questions, etc. You can email me at me at pawoodson@msn.com or call/text 760-650-6953. You can also use the Notifications or Messages functions on the club's group page.
Thanks.
