The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Friday, November 22. Our title is 10 Minutes, 38 Seconds in this Strange World by Elif Shafak. Here is a brief summary:
"In the pulsating moments after she has been murdered and left in a dumpster outside Istanbul, Tequila Leila enters a state of heightened awareness. Her heart has stopped beating but her brain is still active - for 10 minutes 38 seconds. While the Turkish sun rises and her friends sleep soundly nearby, she remembers her life - and the lives of others, outcasts like her." (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.
Our group is always finding interesting titles to share, and we look forward to the new things you'll bring to the table. In addition to discussing Becoming Madam Secretary, the group also shared these titles for consideration at their October 25 meeting:
