About this event

Adults: 18 and up. Join Near North Branch for a lively discussion of The History of Sound by Ben Shattuck. This title is a stunning collection of interconnected stories, set mostly in New England, exploring how the past is often misunderstood and how history, family, heartache, and desire can echo over centuries. In twelve luminous stories set across three centuries, The History of Sound examines the unexpected ways the past returns to us and how love and loss are entwined and transformed over generations.
