SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our next meeting will be Sunday\, April 23 at 12:30pm in the comfort of your own home via Zoom! \nWe will be discussing GennaRose Nethercott’s: Thistlefoot \n  \nJoin Zoom Meeting  \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/86153404802?pwd=ekVwQXNqMHZIbGhJajMrNmlub1hPUT09 \nMeeting ID: 861 5340 4802 \nPasscode: 1955 \nSYNOPSIS \nIn the tradition of modern fairy tales like Neil Gaiman’s American Gods and Naomi Novik’s Spinning Silver comes an immersive fantasy saga\, a debut novel about estranged siblings who are reunited after receiving a mysterious inheritance. \n“A wonderfully imaginative\, wholly enchanting novel of witness\, survival\, memory\, and family that reads like a fairy tale godfathered by Neil Gaiman and Tim Burton in a wild America alive with wonders and devils alike. Thistlefoot shimmers with magic and mayhem and a thrilling emotional momentum.” —Libba Bray\, bestselling author of The Diviners \nThe Yaga siblings—Bellatine\, a young woodworker\, and Isaac\, a wayfaring street performer and con artist—have been estranged since childhood\, separated both by resentment and by wide miles of American highway. But when they learn that they are to receive an inheritance\, the siblings agree to meet—only to discover that their bequest isn’t land or money\, but something far stranger: a sentient house on chicken legs. \nThistlefoot\, as the house is called\, has arrived from the Yagas’ ancestral home outside Kyiv—but not alone. A sinister figure known only as the Longshadow Man has tracked it to American shores\, bearing with him violent secrets from the past: fiery memories that have hidden in Isaac and Bellatine’s blood for generations. As the Yaga siblings embark with Thistlefoot on a final cross-country tour of their family’s traveling theater show\, the Longshadow Man follows in relentless pursuit\, seeding destruction in his wake. Ultimately\, time\, magic\, and legacy must collide—erupting in a powerful conflagration to determine who gets to remember the past and craft a new future. \nAn enchanted adventure illuminated by Jewish myth and adorned with lyrical prose as tantalizing and sweet as briar berries\, Thistlefoot is a sweeping epic rich in Eastern European folklore: a powerful and poignant exploration of healing from multi-generational trauma told by a bold new talent.\nPRAISE \nBOOK ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR • The Wall Street Journal • Washington Independent Review of Books • BookPage • Book Riot \nONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Tor • Paste • Business Insider • BuzzFeed • Library Journal • Literary Hub • Debutiful \nJEWISH FICTION AWARD HONOREE \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \n GennaRose Nethercott is the author of a novel\, Thistlefoot\, and a poetry collection\, The Lumberjack’s Dove\, which was selected by Louise Glück as a winner of the National Poetry Series. Whether authoring novels\, poems\, ballads\, or even fold-up paper cootie catchers\, her projects are all rooted in myth—and what our stories reveal about who we are. She tours nationally and internationally performing strange tales (sometimes with puppets in tow) and composing poems-to-order for strangers on an antique typewriter with her team\, the Traveling Poetry Emporium. She lives in the woodlands of Vermont\, beside an old cemetery. \n  \n
