Patterson Pages: Adult Book Discussion Group
Join us for a lively discussion of a variety of titles, fiction and non-fiction.
This month we are reading and discussing The Wind Knows My Name by Isabel Allende. (2023)
Synopsis: This powerful and moving novel weaves together past and present, tracing the ripple effects of war and immigration on one child in Europe in 1938 and another in the United States in 2019. Vienna, 1938. Samuel Adler was six years old when his father disappeared during Kristallnacht--the night their family lost everything. Arizona, 2019. Eight decades later, Anita Diaz, a blind seven-year-old girl, and her mother board another train, fleeing looming danger in El Salvador and seeking refuge in the United States. Spanning time and place, The Wind Knows My Name is both a testament to the sacrifices that parents make and a love letter to the children who survive the most unfathomable dangers--and never stop dreaming. 260 p.
Copies of this title are available @ your library.
