Sips n' Stories Book Club (We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves)

Join us on Zoom for a drink and book discussion. We'll make a cocktail and then discuss We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler (or bring a drink of your choice).

The e-book and Audiobook are available on Libby and the book is available at the library.

Summary: Meet the Cooke family: Mother and Dad, brother Lowell, sister Fern, and Rosemary, who begins her story in the middle. She has her reasons. "I was raised with a chimpanzee," she explains. "I tell you Fern was a chimp and already you aren't thinking of her as my sister. But until Fern's expulsion...she was my twin, my funhouse mirror, my whirlwind other half and I loved her as a sister." As a child, Rosemary never stopped talking. Then, something happened, and Rosemary wrapped herself in silence. In We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves, Karen Joy Fowler weaves her most accomplished work to date--a tale of loving but fallible people whose well-intentioned actions lead to heartbreaking consequences.

Zoom meeting details will be emailed to you when you register. Must be 21 or older.

Upcoming Meeting: The Last Cuentista by Donna Barba Higuera - Thursday, October 2 at 6 pm.
