Reading on the Ave Book Club: San Miguel
All are welcome to attend the Reading on the Avenue Book Club, which meets in the Community Room of Willow Glen Library. On Wednesday, January 22, we'll be discussing San Miguel by T.C. Boyle.
Just off the coast of Southern California, two families - one in the 1880s and one in the 1930s - come to desolate, windswept San Miguel Island in search of self-reliance, freedom, and a new start in their lives. Both Marantha Waters and Elise Lester strive to help their war veteran husbands pursue their dreams but must themselves grapple with the more nebulous hardships of raising a family in brutal isolation.
