The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Friday, October 24. Our title is My Friends by Fredrik Backman. Here is a brief summary:
"Most people don't even notice them-three tiny figures sitting at the end of a long pier in the corner of one of the most famous paintings in the world. Most people think it's just a depiction of the sea. But Louisa, an artist herself, knows otherwise and she is determined to find out the story of these three enigmatic figures. The closer she gets to the painting's birthplace, the more she feels compelled to unleash her own artistic spirit, but happy endings don't always take the form we expect in this fresh testament to the transformative power of friendship and art." (publisher)
Here is where you can find the book:
- There is an audio book available from Miami University Libraries or copies may be found by checking at your local public library (our statewide access to public libraries' collections, SearchOhio, will start up again in the middle of October for the participating public libraries but be down for OhioLINK users until the end of December to allow for technical upgrades).
- 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 This is Happiness, the group also shared these titles for consideration at their September 26 meeting:
