Step into the unknown—join our speculative fiction book club for bold ideas, wild worlds, and unforgettable journeys! This month's title is "The Light Pirate" by Lily Brooks-Dalton.
This is a group for speculative fiction fans (science fiction/fantasy) who like to read and discuss genre literature. Each month we'll have a discussion about a book, either a new release or an older book (but ideally something that most people haven't read yet), that we've read before meeting.
"The Light Pirate" by Lily Brooks-Dalton
"Born during a powerful hurricane, Wanda, an unusual woman in a rapidly changing world, loses family, gains community and ultimately seeks adventure, love and purpose in a place abandoned by civilization and remade by nature. Told in four parts—power, water, light, and time—The Light Pirate mirrors the rhythms of the elements and the sometimes quick, sometimes slow dissolution of the world as we know it." - Novelist Plus.
