Description
An incredibly touching novel about a second chance we all deserve, unexpected friendship, and the magical power of books. Violet, a young woman from the suburbs of Maine, gets out of prison. She served nearly two years behind bars for drunk driving and an accident that killed an elderly day-care teacher from the local preschool. The only outlet for Violet in prison was a book club run by Harriet, a retired English teacher. Once free, Violet doesn’t know what to do: the future scares her, while the past presses down on her like a heavy burden of guilt. The years haven’t brought peace even to elderly Frank. His wife died in the accident caused by Violet, and he can’t get used to his loneliness—though now it seems to him that this feeling took root in him long before he became a widower.
One morning, the paths of three characters cross in a bookstore. Frank works there. Violet wants to buy the novel she read in the prison book club before her release. And Harriet is looking for a new book to discuss. From that moment on, their lives change forever. “How to Read Books” is a brutally honest story full of hope about guilt, the road to redemption, and how one book can change our lives forever.
Monika Wood’s distinctive style is marked by warmth, wit, elegant language, and a deep understanding. In this novel, she writes about choices that shape the human journey and about kindness that returns the will to live. This beautifully written story is brought to you by the stars of the audiobook club: Marina Lisovets, Natalya Kazantseva, and Aleksey Bagdasarov.
