Novel Conversations

Novel Conversations is a book group that alternates between classic novels and more recent works of fiction and nonfiction. Participants are welcome to come to all the meetings or just those that sound interesting.  Multiple copies of each book are available for checkout in the library and are, whenever possible, made available in large print, audiobook, and ebook editions.

Novel Conversations meets on the third Thursday of each month at 6:00 pm in the Board Room and on Zoom.  Email mjorgensen@coralville.org for the Zoom link.

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

It is post-WWII Spain when Daniel’s father takes him to the “Cemetery of Forgotten Books,” a secret library where books are kept to keep them from disappearing. Daniel chooses one book to take home with him, and this book changes the course of his life forever.
