The God of the Woods
Tuesday, September 15
10:00am - 12:00pm
Join us at Southern Vault to discuss a different book every month!
This month we will be reading The God of the Woods by Liz Moore. The meeting will be held at Southern Vault, 104 East Main Street, Pickens.
Summary:
When a teenager vanishes from her Adirondack summer camp, two worlds collide...
Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found.
As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.
