Thurs.Night Book Club: Family LIfe by Akhil Sharma

Thursday Night Book Club Family Life by Akhil Sharma One of the NY Times Book Review’s 10 Best Books of 2014 “This book, deeply unnerving and gorgeously tender at its core, charts the young life of Ajay Mishra as he struggles to grow within a family shattered by loss and disoriented by a recent move from India to America. Family Life is equally the story of Ajay’s parents, whose response to grief renders them unable to find the space in which to cherish and raise him... is devastating as it reveals how love becomes warped and jagged and even seemingly vanishes in the midst of huge grief. But it also gives us beautiful, heart-stopping scenes where love in the Mishra family finds air and ease.” -- New York Times Book Review Thursday, February 5 7:00 pm at Main Library
