Close out your summer reading list with The Crane Wife by Patrick Ness:


Witty, magical, and romantic, The Crane Wife is a story of passion and sacrifice, that resonates on the level of dream and myth. It is a novel that celebrates the creative imagination, and the disruptive power of love.


George Duncan is an American living and working in London. At forty-eight, he owns a small print shop, is divorced, and lonelier than he realizes. All of the women with whom he has relationships eventually leave him for being too nice. But one night he is woken by an astonishing sound—a terrific keening, which is coming from somewhere in his garden. When he investigates he finds a great white crane, a bird taller than even himself. It has been shot through the wing with an arrow. Moved more than he can say, George struggles to take out the arrow from the bird's wing, saving its life before it flies away into the night sky.


The Hearth Book Club meets the last Wednesday of every month to discuss our selection. This month we'll meet on August 31 at 7:00 at Blue Shirt Cafe Inc.


Want to get ahead? We'll be reading 10:04 by Ben Learner in September: http://mirandashearth.com/hearth-book-club/
