If you have not stopped by our Coffee By the Book group at Bailiwicks Coffee Company, give it a try on January 17. The newest book group from the Tiffin-Seneca Public Library is not what you might expect. First, there's coffee. How great is that? Second, we do not discuss books that you might think of as the typical book group fare. We read newer debut titles that tend to be on the quirky side. It's a way for us to introduce you to something different that you might not have picked up otherwise.
The next book we'll be discussing is Turn of Mind by Alice LaPlante. Dr. Jennifer White's best friend has recently been murdered and the police have named White as the prime suspect. Sounds like a pretty typical mystery/thriller doesn't it? The twist to this story is that Dr. White suffers from Alzheimer's and this mystery is told from her perspective. Now a different kind of storytelling. Being inside Jennifer's mind while it is slowly deteriorating makes for interesting and sometimes emotional reading. She is caught trying to piece together what happened to her best friend while dealing with an ailment of which she has no control. The family dynamics between White and her two children also gives the reader something to mull over.
Join us at Bailiwicks on January 17 from 6:00-7:00 to discuss this powerful debut novel.
