About The God of the Woods
“Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found.
As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.” (GoodReads)

The Book Club Format
Every Sunday, for four weeks, you'll get an email with a set amount of recommended pages to read for the week and some questions to think about during the week. This format is for guidance only, you can read ahead, look at the questions before you read, or wait until after to think out or write out your answers.
You'll learn a quick and easy Post-It method for remembering the impressionable places in the book you want to bring up in discussion.
At the end of the four weeks, we'll meet over Zoom and I'll lead a discussion based on the prompts and your Post-It thoughts.
For those local to Portland, Maine, we'll have an optional in-person book club gathering at the end as well.
You must register for each book group to receive the discussion emails and an invitation to the Zoom call.
