October's Middletown Book for Discussion: The Glass Hotel (Oct. 27)

The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Friday, October 27.  Our title is Emily St. John Mandel's The Glass Hotel.  Here is a brief summary:

"In this captivating story of crisis and survival, Emily St. John Mandel takes readers through often hidden landscapes: campgrounds for the near-homeless, underground electronica clubs, service in luxury hotels, and life in a federal prison. Rife with unexpected beauty, The Glass Hotel is a captivating portrait of greed and guilt, love and delusion, ghosts and unintended consequences, and the infinite ways we search for meaning in our lives."  (publisher)

Here is where you can find the book:

• There are several copies available in Miami, OhioLINK, and SearchOhio libraries.  
  
• Amazon has the hardcover, paperback, and Kindle available, and Bookshop.org has links to purchase the title from independent booksellers.
