Join us for another intimate book club in the bookshop after hours! The tickets are limited so get yours in quick.

This month's book club pick is American Mother by Colum McCann and Diane Foley.

You can check out our interview with Colum here!


American Mother is an examination of the power America holds over the rest of the world. Centered around the public killing of the beloved American journalist James Foley through the eyes of his mother Diane, the story unfolds as both a wide lens of political power, presidency, negotiation and regret, and a close lens of family, bravery, courage, and grief.

This story somehow humanizes the criminals and looks at the affects of disparaging nations on small, insular families.

It’s captivating, unputdownable, and the story of a century.

“A book that will shake your soul out.” – Sting

As usual there will be drinks and the $5 ticket price is redeemable against purchases made in store on the night.
