Description
Join us for a West Hartford Reads! book discussion, featuring Liz Moore's book The God of the Woods.
The God of the Woods is a historical fiction mystery set in the Adirondack Mountains in 1975, revolving around the disappearance of Barbara Van Laar from her family's summer camp. The story is layered with secrets about the wealthy Van Laar family and the community that works for them, including the previous disappearance of Barbara's older brother, Bear, years earlier. The novel explores themes of family, inheritance, identity, and second chances, as well as the tensions between the privileged Van Laars and the working-class community.
Become a West Hartford Reads VIP! Attendees to this discussion will be guaranteed front row seats to see Liz Moore on 10/23 and will receive awesome West Hartford Reads swag!
Registration required. Registration opens one month before the program at 7:00pm.
