SUMMARY:Thrill in the 'Ville: Thriller Book Club Reading The Resemblance
DESCRIPTION:Our first thriller book club choice of 2023 is  The Resemblance by Lauren Nossett. As always\, treats will be served – come join the fun! \nLauren Nossett’s artfully written debut\, The Resemblance is an exhilarating\, atmospheric campus thriller reminiscent of The Secret History and The Likeness. \nNever betray the brotherhood… On a chilly November morning at the University of Georgia\, a fraternity brother steps off a busy crosswalk and is struck dead by an oncoming car. More than a dozen witnesses all agree on two things: the driver looked identical to the victim\, and he was smiling. \nDetective Marlitt Kaplan is first on the scene. An Athens native and the daughter of a UGA professor\, she knows all its shameful histories\, from the skull discovered under the foundations of Baldwin Hall to the hushed-up murder-suicide in Waddel. But in the course of investigating this hit-and-run\, she will uncover more chilling secrets as she explores the sprawling\, interconnected Greek system that entertains and delights the university’s most elite and connected students. \nThe lines between Marlitt’s police work and her own past increasingly blur as Marlitt seeks to bring to justice an institution that took something precious from her many years ago. When threats against her escalate\, and some long-buried secrets threaten to come to the surface\, she can’t help questioning whether the corruption in Athens has run off campus and into the force and how far these brotherhoods will go to protect their own.

SUMMARY:January Living Large Bookclub: Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver
DESCRIPTION:Due to the horrible weather timing of last month’s club – this is now JANUARY’S pick – because we all can’t wait to talk about it! As always\, treats will be served – please come on out and join in the fun! \nThe remarkable\, incomparable Barbara Kingsolver is back – with her new novel\, Demon Copperhead\, and we can’t wait to talk about it! We’ll provide the treats\, you bring the conversation – and the book is at 10% off for book club price! \n“Kingsolver is a writer who can help us understand and navigate the chaos of these times.” —Minneapolis Star Tribune \nFrom the New York Times bestselling author of Unsheltered and Flight Behavior\, a brilliant novel which enthralls\, compels\, and captures the heart as it evokes a young hero’s unforgettable journey to maturity. \n“Anyone will tell you the born of this world are marked from the get-out\, win or lose.” \nDemon Copperhead is set in the mountains of southern Appalachia. It’s the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer\, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair\, a caustic wit\, and a fierce talent for survival. In a plot that never pauses for breath\, relayed in his own unsparing voice\, he braves the modern perils of foster care\, child labor\, derelict schools\, athletic success\, addiction\, disastrous loves\, and crushing losses. Through all of it\, he reckons with his own invisibility in a popular culture where even the superheroes have abandoned rural people in favor of cities. \nMany generations ago\, Charles Dickens wrote David Copperfield from his experience as a survivor of institutional poverty and its damages to children in his society. Those problems have yet to be solved in ours. Dickens is not a prerequisite for readers of this novel\, but he provided its inspiration. In transposing a Victorian epic novel to the contemporary American South\, Barbara Kingsolver enlists Dickens’ anger and compassion\, and above all\, his faith in the transformative powers of a good story. Demon Copperhead speaks for a new generation of lost boys\, and all those born into beautiful\, cursed places they can’t imagine leaving behind.
