Join us to discuss The Sentence by Louise Erdrich.

Wilmette Reads is spotlighting The Sentence by Louise Erdrich.

A small independent bookstore in Minneapolis is haunted from November 2019 to November 2020 by the store's most annoying customer. Flora dies on All Souls' Day, but she simply won't leave the store. Tookie, who has landed a job selling books after years of incarceration that she survived by reading "with murderous attention", must solve the mystery of this haunting while at the same time trying to understand all that occurs in Minneapolis during a year of grief, astonishment, isolation, and furious reckoning.

The Sentence begins on All Souls' Day 2019 and ends on All Souls' Day 2020. Its mystery and proliferating ghost stories during this one year propel a narrative as rich, emotional, and profound as anything Louise Erdrich has written. (From the publisher)

This event is part of Wilmette Reads, a new reading series for adults and teens. Learn more and take part! 

Wilmette Reads is funded by the Friends of the Wilmette Public Library.
