Hamden Book Group to Discuss 'Everything I Never Told You'

From Hamden Library: The Hamden Book Group will be discussing “Everything I Never Told You” by Celeste Ng on Monday, August 28 at 6:30 pm and Thursday, August 31 at 2:30 pm in the Friends Room at Miller Memorial Library, 2901 Dixwell Avenue, Hamden.

In a July 6, 2014 review in the Los Angeles Times, Hector Tobar writes, "Everything I Never Told You" is an engaging work that casts a powerful light on the secrets that have kept an American family together -- and that finally end up tearing it apart,” and in his description of the novel in an August 17, 2014 review in the New York Times Alexander Chee states,

“The term literary thriller might make you scoff, but Ng has set two tasks in this novel's doubled heart - to be exciting, and to tell a story bigger than whatever is behind the crime. She does both by turning the nest of familial resentments into at least four smaller, prickly mysteries full of the secrets the family members won't share.”

There is no fee for the program, and the public is welcome to attend. Copies of the book are available at the
library. For more information please call 287-2680 or email info@hamdenlibrary.org
