SUMMARY:Adult Book Club: “My Friends" by Frederik Backman
DESCRIPTION:This month’s book is My Friends by Frederik Backman. (448 pages) \nFrom the Publisher: In a distant seaside town\, a group of teenagers find refuge from their bruising home lives by spending long summer days on an abandoned pier\, telling silly jokes\, sharing secrets\, and committing small acts of rebellion. These lost souls find in each other a reason to get up each morning\, a reason to dream\, a reason to love.\nOut of that summer emerges a transcendent work of art\, a painting that will unexpectedly be placed into eighteen-year-old Louisa’s care. She embarks on a surprise-filled cross-country journey to learn how the painting came to be and to decide what to do with it. The closer she gets to the painting’s birthplace\, the more nervous she becomes about what she’ll find. Louisa is proof that happy endings don’t always take the form we expect in this stunning testament to the transformative\, timeless power of friendship and art. \nAbout the Author: Fredrik Backman is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove\, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry\, Britt-Marie Was Here\, Beartown\, Us Against You\, Anxious People\, The Winners\, and My Friends\, as well as two novellas and one work of nonfiction. His books are published in more than forty countries. He lives in Stockholm\, Sweden\, with his wife and two children. Connect with him on Facebook and X @BackmanLand and on Instagram @Backmansk. \nThe Adult Book Club meets in-person at the Library on the second Friday of each month. If you have questions about the Book Club\, please email Linda Reimer: reimerl@stls.org \nCheck our calendar for future dates and book selections.
