Join us for a discussion of "The Museum of Failures: a novel" by Thrity Umrigar. Books are available at the service desk one month before the discussion.

Remy Wadia left India for the United States long ago, carrying his resentment of his mother with him.

He has now returned to Bombay to adopt a baby--and to see his elderly mother for the first time in several years. Discovering that she is in the hospital, has stopped talking, and seems to have given up on life, he is struck with guilt for not realizing just how sick she has become. His unexpected appearance and assiduous attention revives her and enables her to return to her home.

But when Remy finds an old photograph from his adoring late father, shocking long-held family secrets surface. -- Provided by publisher.

Place a hold on "The Museum of Failures: A Novel" by Thrity Umrigar here.

About the branch

Life-long enrichment characterizes the North Hill Branch Library experience. Opportunities for learning and entertainment for customers of all ages abound in the library's programming - from preschool story times to family movie and craft days, from book discussions to stitching and cooking, from computer classes to GED and yoga classes. A diverse collection of books, movies, and music for all tastes and interests are available for borrowing. The library provides access to computers, WiFi, copiers, scanning and faxing.

Working closely with local organizations serving refugees in their first phase of their resettlement in our city and those working with senior citizens in the neighborhood, North Hill Branch Library continues a strong tradition of serving both Akron's newest community members and those families who have made Akron their home for generations. There's something for everyone at the North Hill Branch Library.
