Our March Book


Hey ladies,
So I think we can all agree that The Help was a fantastic read! Thanks Alison!
Our book for March has been selected by Rachel M, and is called Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer. Here are the deets:
Nine-year-old Oskar Schell is on a mission to find the lock that matches a mysterious key belonging to his father, who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11. An inspired innocent, Oskar is alternately endearing, exasperating, and hilarious as he careens from Central Park to Coney Island to Harlem on his search. As he roams the five boroughs, Oskar encounters a motley assortment of people who are all survivors in their own way. His journey concludes in an emotional climax of truth, beauty and heartbreak. Foer once again demonstrates his ability to evoke and unravel the most personal and complex matters of the heart.

Sounds great! Happy reading ladies :)
