West Valley Book Club
Join us if you like to discuss all kinds of fascinating books. This month we'll be reading and discussing Tethered by Amy MacKinnon. It's the story of a young undertaker's assistant and the interesting world she occupies. Booklist magazine says "MacKinnon's fascination with the inner workings of her uncle's funeral business inspired this haunting, gracefully rendered, debut." All interested readers are welcome.
