March: Whale Fall by Elizabeth O’ Connor
Manod Llan is an 18-year-old young woman coming of age on a small Welsh island. In 1938 two major events, the arrivals of a dead whale and two English ethnographers to her quiet community (not together, that would be cool though) cause Manod to think beyond her island, and what identity and home mean. This was a NY Times Notable Book and earned wonderful reviews for O’ Connor, for this, her debut novel.

Or not. Come find out as we discuss this acclaimed book for our meeting in April.
