The Mountlake Terrace Library’s Second Tuesday Book Group will meet from 5:15 to 6:15 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 10 to discuss Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter.
Copies of the book are available at the check-out desk.
The story begins in 1962 on a rocky patch of the sun-drenched Italian coastline, where a young innkeeper, chest-deep in daydreams, looks out over the incandescent waters of the Ligurian Sea and spies an apparition: A tall, thin woman, a vision in white, approaching him on a boat. She is an American starlet, and she is dying. And the story begins again today, half a world away, when an elderly Italian man shows up on a movie studio’s back lot searching for the mysterious woman he last saw at his hotel decades earlier.
