![]() Ava doesn’t immediately enjoy the book group (she watches a movie adaptation instead of reading the first book), but bit by bit, book by book, she rediscovers her love of reading, makes new friends, and begins to heal. What Ava doesn’t know is that her daughter has recently quit school and is now living in Paris under increasingly dangerous circumstances. Although the new activity keeps her engaged, Ava, who lives in Providence, R.I., still feels alone, with her son abroad in Africa and her daughter studying in Florence. In order to branch out and meet new people, Ava joins a book club where each member must choose a book that matters most to them for the group to discuss. A year after being left by her husband, Ava is still reeling from the grief of separation, which brought back the pain of losing her sister and mother early in life. Hood’s ( The Obituary Writer) latest novel is a moving, intricate story about loss, healing, and the value of critical thinking. ![]()
