August Book Selection

Hello everyone!

 

Here is my selection for our August read:

 

Broken Glass Park

By Alina Bronsky

 

Swiftly paced and meticulously crafted, Broken Glass Park introduces an iconic contemporary heroine – a young woman who seizes life on her own terms, whose wisdom comes at great cost, and whose singular achievement is to hold tight to her faith.  It’s a story that is as unforgettable as they come.

 

Author

Russian born Alina Bronsky has been the subject of constant praise and debate since her debut novel Broken Glass Park was published in Germany in 2008.  She has been hailed as a literary prodigy and her novel as “an explosive debut” (Emma Magazine). Now, Broken Glass Park makes its first appearance in English in Tim Mohr’s masterful translation.

 

Happy reading!

Carol
