June McAuliffe Book Discussion (Evening): North Woods by Daniel Mason

  • "This magisterial and highly inventive novel from Pulitzer Prize finalist Daniel Mason brims with love and madness, humor and hope. Following the cycles of history, nature, and even language, North Woods shows the myriad, magical ways in which we’re connected to our environment, to history, and to one another. It is not just an unforgettable novel about secrets and destinies, but a way of looking at the world that asks the timeless question: How do we live on, even after we’re gone?

If you borrow a book group title from us, please check out the book at the Circulation Desk. Some books are loans from other libraries in the network and do not work with our self-checkout. Please do not leave the Library without checking out your materials. Thanks for your cooperation!
