Meeting: Tuesday September 6, 7 PM, at the Moke Hill Library/Archives
Book: The Vacationers by Emma Straub
An irresistible, deftly observed novel about the secrets, joys, and jealousies that rise to the surface over the course of an American family’s two-week stay in Mallorca. With wry humor and tremendous heart, Emma Straub delivers a richly satisfying story of a family in the midst of a maelstrom of change, emerging irrevocably altered yet whole.
For the Posts, a two-week trip to the Balearic island of Mallorca with their extended family and friends is a celebration. But all does not go according to plan: over the course of the vacation, secrets come to light, old and new humiliations are experienced, childhood rivalries resurface, and ancient wounds are exacerbated.
