Join us for the first meeting of our new book group as we discuss Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy, a gripping novel of family, secrets, survival, and love set on a remote island near Antarctica.

When a mysterious woman washes ashore during a devastating storm, the isolated Salt family takes her in. But as tensions rise and long-hidden secrets come to light, they begin to question who they can trust—and what they are willing to risk to protect one another and the precious seed bank in their care.

With its atmospheric setting, compelling characters, and unexpected twists, Wild Dark Shore offers plenty to discuss. Come be part of the conversation and help launch our new book group!  Books are available at the Circulation Desk beginning October 2.
