On the screen…
When a gala for the international elite devolves into a long-term hostage situation, unexpected intimacies flourish. This lyrical and layered novel is an astonishing study of human compassion. The film adaptation stars Julianne Moore and Christopher Lambert.
World Literacy Day…
For Literacy Day this year, read one of 2017’s most acclaimed novels. Lisa Ko’s debut is a sweeping and beautifully written depiction of hot button issues, including family separation and illegal immigration, told through the story of one mother and son.
Emmy Awards…
The first season of Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” won big at least year’s Emmys, and the second season is poised for repeat success, with the series nominated for best drama and multiple actresses being recognized for their roles. The show has definitely gone off book at this point, which means it’s an even more worthwhile read.
First day of fall…
B. A. Shaprio’s celebrated novel is the perfect book to welcome fall with. A smart, tightly woven mystery and art caper, it’s the kind of novel you’ll want to read in a museum cafe while sipping a cappuccino.
