Harrow\, and join th e conversation on August 18.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"Once upon a time\," says Jessic a Wick on National Public Radio\, "Alix Harrow wrote about three sisters. Also\, suffragists\, witching\, folklore\, flawed alliances\, an alternate America\, and women's work. She gave this second novel many gifts: charm\ , grace\, and gorgeousness\; feral wonder\, clear vision\, an ardent heart . She gave it history\, awareness of injustice and will to survive it. And so it went into the world to seek its fortune\, inviting readers to settl e in\; to sigh with the pleasure of finding a not too this\, not too that\ , just right story." Harrow\, whose first book was The Ten Thousand Doors of January\, uses the elements of fantasy the way great sci fi writers use imagined worlds and technologies: to offer us a new lens on our own socie ty\, mores\, and inner lives. Make a pot of tea and invite the cat to sett le onto your lap\, because you won't want to put this book down until the last page.\n\nYou can find it in stock at Kepler's (where we are soon to b e registered among their book clubs!)\, or at your local library.\n\n\n\n\ n\n\nMeeting via Zoom as always:\nhttps://zoom.us/j/98203742810?pwd=WG9ack hoOWZ4VTlpbGhNWjBzS0NQdz09\n\nMeeting ID: 982 0374 2810\nPasscode: 179957\ nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,98203742810#\,\,\,\,*179957# US (San Jose )\n+12532158782\,\,98203742810#\,\,\,\,*179957# US (Tacoma)\n\nDial by you r location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 929 436 2866 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\nMeeting ID: 982 0374 28 10\nPasscode: 179957\nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/aqAmKovPQ\ n\n\n\n\n\n \;\n\nThe Sci-Fi and Fantasy Discussion Group was meeting via Zoom before it was cool!
