Our August Oh, You're Reading Again Book Club pick is True Biz by Sara Nović!
This revelatory novel plunges readers into the halls of a residential school for the deaf, where they'll meet Charlie, a rebellious transfer student who's never met another deaf person before; Austin, the school's golden boy, whose world is rocked when his baby sister is born hearing; and February, the headmistress, who is fighting to keep her school open and her marriage intact, but might not be able to do both. This is a story of sign language and lip-reading, disability and civil rights, isolation and injustice, first love and loss, and, above all, great persistence, daring, and joy.
We'll meet to discuss this book on August 27 from 6-7 p.m. You can join us in person at our store, or virtually via Zoom.
