Event Details

Spice up your Tuesday nights by pairing a good book with a good beer!

January's Book: Searching for Sylvie Lee by Jean Kwok
A poignant and suspenseful drama that untangles the complicated ties binding three women--two sisters and their mother--in one Chinese immigrant family and explores what happens when the eldest daughter disappears, and a series of family secrets emerge. Sylvie, the beautiful, brilliant, successful older daughter of the Lee family, flies to the Netherlands for one final visit with her dying grandmother-- and vanishes. Amy is too young to remember a time when her parents were newly immigrated and too poor to keep Sylvie, who was raised by a distant relative in a faraway, foreign place. Amy flies to the last place Sylvie was seen, retracing her sister's movements. It seems Sylvie kept painful secrets that reveal more about Amy's family than she ever could have imagined.

Adults 21+ are invited join a unique book discussion that will pair a new book with a new beer each month!  Meetings will take place in our large meeting room. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will be served.

Books are available at the circulation desk one month before meeting. 
This title is available for instant download on our Hoopla app. (No holds, no waiting!)
