January Book Club selection: The Night Sparrow by Shelly Sanders, with an in-person moderated discussion led by the author.
About the Book: “Louisa notices three hidden figures in a famous seascape and sets out to uncover their story. Her search reveals a long-ago summer of friendship and love, and takes her on a cross-country journey that celebrates the enduring power of art, memory, and human connection.”
About the Author: Shelly Sanders is the author of The Night Sparrow (HarperCollins), the Canadian bestseller Daughters of the Occupation, and several other historical novels. Drawing inspiration from her Russian Jewish ancestry, she focuses on uncovering the untold stories of women who defy expectations.
