The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer
The Interestings begins in the summer of 1974 when six friends meet at an artsy summer camp. These characters remain in on another's lives for the next 40 years. We follow them as they age and see the ways in which their chance meeting in adolescence shapes their entire lives.
Registration opens August 7.
October 21
The Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri
The Lowland focuses on two brothers who choose different paths in life. Set in India and America, the book explores how family ties are forged, tested, and challenged as individuals follow their own dreams. The novel showcases Lahiri's powers of evoking landscape and history to examine familial bonds and broader social issues.
Registration opens August 21.
