Paso Robles Library Book Group Reads:
The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller
Zoom Meeting: Thursday, February 17, 6-7 pm.

Because of somethin she did the night before, Elle, a fifty-year-old happily married mother of three, is forced to decide between the life she has made with her genuinely beloved husband, Peter, and the life she always imagined she would have had with her childhood love, Jonas. Tender yet devastating, The Paper Palace considers the tensions between desire and dignity, the legacies of abuse, and the crimes and misdemeanors of families. The title is available through the catalog and the Overdrive/Libby platform. Space is limited. Registration is required for each participant. For ages 16+.
