Reading on the Ave Book Club: Out Stealing Horses (public event)

All are welcome to attend the Reading on the Avenue Book Club, which meets in the Community Room of Willow Glen Library. On Wednesday, February 22, we'll be discussing Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson.

Set in the easternmost region of Norway, Out Stealing Horses begins with an ending. Sixty-seven-year-old Trond has settled into a rustic cabin in an isolated area to live the rest of his life. A meeting with his only neighbor, however, forces him to reflect on a fateful summer from his youth...a day on which two boys went for a joy ride on "borrowed" horses; a day which marked the beginning of a series of vital losses for them both.
