Event Description

This month's Tired Eyes Book Club pick is The Bird Hotel by Joyce Maynard (2023).

You can pick up a copy to borrow at the Voorhees Branch.

Summary: After a childhood filled with heartbreak, Irene, a talented artist, finds herself in a small Central American village where she checks into a beautiful but decaying lakefront hotel called La Llorona at the base of a volcano. The Bird Hotel tells the story of this young American who, after suffering tragedy, restores and runs La Llorona. Along the way we meet a rich assortment of characters who live in the village or come to stay at the hotel. With a mystery at its center and filled with warmth, drama, romance, humor, pop culture, and a little magic realism, The Bird Hotel has all the hallmarks of a Joyce Maynard novel that have made her a a leading voice of her generation.

This month's Tired Eyes Book Club pick is The Bird Hotel by Joyce Maynard.
