December 14, 2022
The library's book club meets each month for a fun and lively virtual book club experience!We meet on the second Wednesday of the month via Zoom.
Join us! this month when we will discuss the book “Where the crawdads sing” by Delia Owens
For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet fishing village. Kya Clark is barefoot and wild; unfit for polite society. So in late 1969, when the popular Chase Andrews is found dead, locals immediately suspect her. But Kya is not what they say. A born naturalist with just one day of school, she takes life’s lessons from the land, learning the real ways of the world from the dishonest signals of fireflies. But while she has the skills to live in solitude forever, the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. Drawn to two young men from town, who are each intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new and startling world—until the unthinkable happens.
Email Sandy at SRivera@vailgov.com for an invitation to the monthly Books ‘n’ Bites.
