About this event

Adults (Ages 24 to 49), New Adults (Ages 19 to 23), Older Adults (Ages 50+). For adults. Join the community for a lively book discussion of Intemperance by local author Sonora Jha. This is our One Bellevue One Book selection for 2026. Intemperance follows a twice-divorced feminist scholar who decides to celebrate her 55th birthday with a swayamvar, an ancient Indian custom in which suitors compete for her hand in marriage. The book explores themes of gender, aging, Indian diaspora, disability, and mythology. Registration is optional, but suggested for discussion questions, additional book availability information, and event reminders. One Bellevue One Book brings the greater Bellevue community together each year to read, discuss and connect over one book. Learn more. Intemperance
