November Book: The Morgesons by Elizabeth Stoddard

Mark your calendars for our November discussion of *The Morgesons* by Elizabeth Stoddard!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Part Gothic romance, part psychological coming-of-age tale, The Morgesons is an unsettling and sensuous novel about female desire, rebellion, family, and self-possession. Beneath its quiet New England surfaces lies something wilder: a woman determined to claim her own life, even when doing so means trespassing into territory respectable society would rather keep buried.
