Nov/Dec Book Club & Swap

About this event

Our November pick is ***Something in the Water* by Catherine Steadman**. Because of the Thanksgiving holiday, we'll meet to discuss it on Saturday, December 5 .

After the book club discussion, we will have an optional White Elephant book exchange . If you would like to participate, just bring a wrapped book with you on December 5. Everyone who brings one takes a turn choosing one from the pile, or "stealing" a book someone else has already opened.

About the book:

If you could make one simple choice that would change your life forever, would you?

Erin is a documentary filmmaker on the brink of a professional breakthrough, Mark a handsome investment banker with big plans. Passionately in love, they embark on a dream honeymoon to the tropical island of Bora Bora, where they enjoy the sun, the sand, and each other. Then, while scuba diving in the crystal blue sea, they find something in the water. . . .

Could the life of your dreams be the stuff of nightmares?

Suddenly the newlyweds must make a dangerous choice: to speak out or to protect their secret. After all, if no one else knows, who would be hurt? Their decision will trigger a devastating chain of events. . . .

Have you ever wondered how long it takes to dig a grave?

Wonder no longer. Catherine Steadman's enthralling voice shines throughout this spellbinding debut novel. With piercing insight and fascinating twists, Something in the Water challenges the reader to confront the hopes we desperately cling to, the ideals we're tempted to abandon, and the perfect lies we tell ourselves.
