Food for Thought: Inland (December 10 Noble Creature)

We are skipping our November book discussion at Noble Creature, and we hope to see you in December for a conversation about this New York Times bestseller. 

Lit Youngstown's Food for Thought book discussion forum will meet Thursday, December 10 at 5:30pm at Noble Creature, (126 E. Rayen) to discuss the historical novel Inland  by American novelist Téa Obreht. The book is available at the Public Library of Youngstown & Mahoning County, and POP! Art Books Culture via Bookshop.

In the lawless, drought-ridden lands of the Arizona Territory in 1893, two extraordinary lives unfold. Nora is an unflinching frontierswoman awaiting the return of the men in her life—her husband, who has gone in search of water for the parched household, and her elder sons, who have vanished after an explosive argument. Lurie is a former outlaw and a man haunted by ghosts. He sees lost souls who want something from him, and he finds reprieve from their longing in an unexpected relationship that inspires a momentous expedition across the West.
