Program Description

Event Details

Van Etten's Book Club will meet Friday August 29, 2025 at 12pm, to discuss "Salvage the Bones" by Jesmyn Ward.

As the twelve days that comprise the novel's framework yield to the final day and Hurricane Katrina, the unforgettable family at the novel's heart—motherless children sacrificing for each other as they can, protecting and nurturing where love is scarce—pulls itself up to struggle for another day.

Winner of the National Book Award
