VIRTUAL & IN-PERSON MEETING

North Woods by Daniel Mason

A pair of young lovers in colonial New England escape wrathful judgment in their Puritan village by fleeing into the wilds of western Massachusetts. They lay a foundation stone, and soon a yellow house comes to occupy that spot. Over the course of the following three centuries, the inhabitants of that house come and go while the house thrives, lapses into disrepair, is abandoned and revived, while serving as a silent witness to the lives and deaths of its occupants. Mason’s 2023 novel was voted one of the top ten books of the year by the New York Times and the Washington Post.

Moderated by Readers Advisory Librarian Cindy Haiken. For details about meeting virtually or in-person, contact Cindy Haiken at chaiken@wallingfordlibrary.org.
