All Iowa Reads @ the Library

  • Print

“From National Book Award finalist Jean Thompson comes a mesmerizing, decades-spanning saga of one ordinary American family—proud, flawed, hopeful— whose story simultaneously captures the turbulent history of the country at large. The novel follows the characters as they confront prosperity and heartbreak, setbacks and triumphs, and seek their place in a country whose only constant seems to be breathtaking change.” —the publishers

The Sioux City Public Library will host two public discussions of The Year We Left Home by Jean Thompson on Monday, January 7. The Year We Left Home is the 2013 All Iowa Reads selection sponsored by the Iowa Center for the Book. Kathy Kelly, facilitator for the Library’s Open Book Club, will guide Monday’s discussions. Join the conversation at 11 a.m. at the Perry Creek Branch Library, or at 6:30 p.m. at the Morningside Branch Library. All are welcome.

“Set in a small community in Iowa, readers will find much to relate to as they follow the Erickson siblings and their efforts to successfully fledge from the family nest,” says Kelly. “The life lesson that decisions have consequences, good and bad, is a central theme in Thompson’s intricate story.”

The Sioux City Public Library has partnered with the Iowa Center for the Book since 2003 when All Iowa Reads was first introduced. The purpose of All Iowa Reads is to encourage Iowans statewide to read and talk about a single title in the same year. Visit All Iowa Reads for more information.
