The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern - Book Club
Details
Welcome Ladies! We are so glad you are joining us for bookclub. In general things are pretty casual but we do like to read and discuss the book while having a bite to eat and getting out of the house.
I like to keep the numbers to a max of about 12 so that we can easily discuss the book without being overwhelmed. As well as have a chance to get to know each other.
You can find the book at most bookstores, online, your local library or even your library online with the Libby app and others.
This month we are reading The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern, here is a brief description:
Zachary Ezra Rawlins is a graduate student in Vermont when he discovers a mysterious book hidden in the stacks. As he turns the pages, entranced by tales of lovelorn prisoners, key collectors, and nameless acolytes, he reads something strange: a story from his own childhood.
Bewildered by this inexplicable book and desperate to make sense of how his own life came to be recorded, Zachary uncovers a series of clues—a bee, a key, and a sword—that lead him to a masquerade party in New York, to a secret club, and through a doorway to an ancient library hidden far below the surface of the earth. What Zachary finds in this curious place is more than just a buried home for books and their guardians—it is a place of lost cities and seas, lovers who pass notes under doors and across time, and of stories whispered by the dead. Zachary learns of those who have sacrificed much to protect this realm, relinquishing their sight and their tongues to preserve this archive, and also of those who are intent on its destruction.
Together with Mirabel, a fierce, pink-haired protector of the place, and Dorian, a handsome, barefoot man with shifting alliances, Zachary travels the twisting tunnels, darkened stairwells, crowded ballrooms, and sweetly soaked shores of this magical world, discovering his purpose—in both the mysterious book and in his own life.
I look forward to meeting you soon!
