Alice turns forty, goes to sleep, and wakes up sixteen — in 1996, in her childhood bedroom, with her father alive and well downstairs. A time-travel novel that isn't really about time travel. It's about getting one more ordinary Tuesday with someone you're about to lose. 310 pages. Content warning: the engine of this book is a dying parent — grief and terminal illness are on the page.
Discussion call: Tuesday, September 1 · 7:30–8:30pm ET
Once a month, we pick a book. Underread stuff when we can find it — not the same ten titles everyone's already talked to death. Then we get on a call and talk about it.
No homework. No wrong answers. Just a room full of people who actually finished it.
How it works
"We've been doing this alone since 1979.
We don't have to anymore."
