The Gunn Memorial Library’s Thursday Book Club will read “The God of the Woods” by Liz Moore in October. Join us for a dynamic discussion.

A Thrilling New Novel of Secrets, Power, and Disappearance
Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Thirteen-year-old Barbara Van Laar is missing. The Van Laars are no ordinary family—they own the summer camp and employ much of the local community. And this isn’t the first tragedy to haunt them: fourteen years earlier, Barbara’s older brother vanished without a trace.
In her most ambitious novel yet, Liz Moore delivers a gripping story of suspense, unraveling the hidden truths of a powerful family and the working-class town in its shadow. With masterful tension and unforgettable characters, this multi-layered drama delves into secrets, loyalty, and the pursuit of second chances.

Books will be available at the circulation desk.

Registration is required.
