We have selected Amy Tan's Saving fish from Drowning for our December discussion on Wednesday, 12/18 at 6:30 at Guilford Free LIbrary.

Twelve American tourists join an art expedition that begins in the Himalayan foothills of China, dubbed the true Shangri-La, and head south into the jungles of Burma. But after the mysterious death of their tour leader, the carefully laid plans fall apart. Drawing from both the political reality in 2005 and pure confabulation, Amy Tan's witty novel asks, How do we know what to believe? All the ingredients for entertaining and stimulating reading are here: sympathetic characters, haunting images, historical complexity and mystery.

Copies are available at the library. All are welcome. Talk About Books meets every third Wednesday at 6:30 at the library.
