Good grief - I just realized that I never updated the blog/website for November. So I promise I will get it updated for November AND December. In the meantime, here's the scoop.We will meet on Friday, December 30th.
Donna will be our hostess.
Kim will bring book selections, and
Fran will lead our discussion.
We are reading Border Songs, by Jim Lynch. The Amazon Book Description says:
Set in the previously sleepy hinterlands straddling Washington state and British Columbia, Border Songs is the story of Brandon Vanderkool, six foot eight, frequently tongue-tied, severely dyslexic, and romantically inept. Passionate about bird-watching, Brandon has a hard time mustering enthusiasm for his new job as a Border Patrol agent guarding thirty miles of largely invisible boundary. But to everyone’s surprise, he excels at catching illegals, and as drug runners, politicians, surveillance cameras, and a potential sweetheart flock to this scrap of land, Brandon is suddenly at the center of something much bigger than himself.
A magnificent novel of birding, smuggling, farming and extraordinary love, Border Songs welcomes us to a changing community populated with some of the most memorable characters in recent fiction.
There are plenty of copies available from Contra Costa Library.
