Hey there fellow book clubbers...
I just thought I'd let you know what book was voted on for January. We're going to be reading "The Family Tree" by Sheri S. Tepper. It is not found at the library, but should be fairly easy to get by going to Abebooks.com for about $5 shipping included.
For those interested in learning more about the book here's the description as found on amazon:
"The once fertile Earth of Dora Henry's childhood has been undervalued and overdeveloped. Now nature, apparently, has decided to fight back.
Police officer Dora Henry is investigating the bizarre murders of three geneticists. Meanwhile, strange things are happening everywhere she turns. Weeds are becoming trees; trees are becoming forests. Overnight, a city is being transformed into a wild and verdant place.
And, strangest of all, Dora can somehow communicate with the rampaging flora. A potential civilization-ending catastrophe is in the making. The bearer Dora gets to a murderer--and to the truth--the more seemingly disparate events begin to entwine. And the answers she seeks today to the salvation of humankind may lie in afar distant future. . .one which is suddenly much closer than anyone imagines."
I loved reading this book and I hope you do too. See you in January!
