\n"The Reading List" by Sara Nisha Adams . This is a hybrid program &ndash\; attendees are welcome to join virtuall y via Zoom or in-person in the Meeting Room at the Warren Township Library branch.
\n"Widower Mukesh live s a quiet life in Wembley\, in West London after losing his beloved wife. He shops every Wednesday\, goes to Temple\, and worries about his granddau ghter\, Priya\, who hides in her room reading while he spends his evenings watching nature documentaries. Aleisha is a bright but anxious teenager w orking at the local library for the summer when she discovers a crumpled-u p piece of paper in the back of To Kill a Mockingbird. It's a list of nove ls that she's never heard of before. Intrigued\, and a little bored with h er slow job at the checkout desk\, she impulsively decides to read every b ook on the list\, one after the other. As each story gives up its magic\, the books transport Aleisha from the painful realities she's facing at hom e. When Mukesh arrives at the library\, desperate to forge a connection wi th his bookworm granddaughter\, Aleisha passes along the reading list...ho ping that it will be a lifeline for him too. Slowly\, the shared books cre ate a connection between two lonely souls\, as fiction helps them escape t heir grief and everyday troubles and find joy again. "--Provided by publis her.
