Please join us in reading and discussing Geraldine Brooks’ New York Times Bestseller, Memorial Days.

Heralded by the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, and others, Brooks’ memoir tracks the geography of grief as she comes to terms with the ongoing nature of outliving the ones you love most. While her memoir is a testament to her own unique loss, it serves as a lifeline to others who find themselves in the unfamiliar landscape of grief.

Copies of Memorial Days are available through your local library, on Minerva, or through your favorite bookseller.

Please contact Debbie Smyth with questions.
