God of the Woods
by Liz Moore A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER and ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES’S NOTABLE BOOKS OF THE YEAR A NEW YORK TIMES “BEST THRILLER” and “BEST CRIME NOVEL” OF THE YEAR PEOPLE MAGAZINE’S #1 BOOK OF THE YEAR “Extraordinary . . . Reminds me of Donna Tartt’s 1992 debut, The Secret History . . . I was so thoroughly submerged in a rich fictional world, that for hours I barely came up for air.” —Maureen Corrigan, Fresh Air, NPR “This expertly paced thriller …has the kineticism of a well-crafted miniseries.” —The New Yorker When a teenager vanishes from her Adirondack summer camp, two worlds collide Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found. As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet. *Description from Penguin Random House Publishing |
About One Book. One Community, the Plymouth Chapter
One Book. One Community, the Plymouth Chapter started in Plymouth, Wisconsin as a collaboration between the Plymouth Public Library and the Plymouth School District's Community Education Department. During the inaugural year of 2015, the community book read was one of the final events celebrating the library's 100th anniversary. The overall objective is to annually select a book as a community joint reading venture. Participants can choose how involved they wish to be with activities focused on the book and its themes.
