For the month of July, the Hawaii State Library Book Group will discuss “A Tale for the Time Being” by Ruth Ozeki.
Shortlisted for the 2013 Man Booker Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award, A Tale for the Time Being centers on bullied teen girl Nao, a California native feeling out of place living in Tokyo, and her connection to Ruth, a Japanese American writer who finds Nao’s diary washed up on the shore of Vancouver Island after the 2011 tsunami.
The HSL Book Group meets on the third Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Language, Literature, and History Section. New members are always welcome. For more information please call 586-3499. No registration necessary.
