Book Club Meeting: "Talk Talk" (public event)

Event Expired
This event has passed and RSVPs can no longer be submitted, but you can still post a message to this event's discussion thread.
Join the Social Wave Book Club as we discuss Talk Talk by T. Coraghessan Boyle.
A review in Booklist says:
"Boyle sculpts his bold but meticulous new novel out of a frightening premise, a case of identity thef...in an extreme version: identity takeover. The storyline...starts innocently enough when hearing-impaired college instructor Dana Halter is stopped on her way to the dentist for running a traffic sign. The witnessing policeman is quickly joined by a whole troop of cops, and Dana is led off to jail in handcuffs and treated like a common criminal. As it turns out, she has a rap sheet and a list of warrants a mile long--obviously (obvious to her, that is) a case of someone else using her name. This person has stolen her identity to construct an entirely false life, from purchasing a house and car to marrying under the assumed name. Dana and her boyfriend embark on a dangerous journey not only to discover the identity of the thief but also to stop him, and here the novel develops into a transcontinental -- and breathtaking -- thriller. "
