The Tuesday Evening Book Club will be discussing Reykjavik by Ragnar Jónasson. Join us on October 14th in the Meeting Room or join virtually on Zoom!
Iceland, 1956. Fourteen-year-old Lára decides to spend the summer working for a couple on the small island of Videy, just off the coast of Reykjavík. In early August, the girl disappears without a trace. Time passes, and the mystery becomes Iceland‘s most infamous unsolved case. What happened to the young girl? Is she still alive? Did she leave the island, or did something happen to her there?
Thirty years later, as the city of Reykjavík celebrates its 200th anniversary, journalist Valur Robertsson begins his own investigation into Lára's case. But as he draws closer to discovering the secret, and with the eyes of Reykjavík upon him, it soon becomes clear that Lára's disappearance is a mystery that someone will stop at nothing to keep unsolved . .
This book discussion is in honor of John and Dorothy Creecy who were instrumental in the opening of the Southfield Public Library and loved to share literature with the community.
