SEQUIM — The Novel Conversations Book Discussion Group will meet at 4 p.m. Wednesday at the Sequim Library to discuss “The Turner House” by Angela Flournoy.
The free program will be in the library, 630 N. Sequim Ave.
The Turners of Flournoy’s book have lived on Yarrow Street for more than 50 years.
Their house has seen 13 children grown and gone – and some returned; it has seen the arrival of grandchildren, the fall of Detroit’s East Side and the loss of a father.
The house still stands despite abandoned lots, an embattled city and the inevitable shift outward to the suburbs. But now, as ailing matriarch Viola finds herself forced to leave her home and move in with her eldest son, the family discovers that the house is worth just a tenth of its mortgage.
The Turner children are called home to decide its fate and to reckon with how each of their pasts haunts — and shapes — their family’s future.
Copies of “The Turner House” are available in various formats including regular print, large print, audiobook, and downloadable eBook, which may be requested online by visiting the library catalog at www.nols.org.
A limited number of copies of each book discussion selection are available at the library the month prior to each meeting. To view a complete list of the 2018 selections, visit www.nols.org/book-discussion-groups.
This program is supported by the Friends of the Sequim Library. To participate, simply read the book and attend the discussion; no reservations are needed, and drop-ins are always welcome.
