About this event

Book: Inland, byTéa Obreht. Set in the late 19th century, "Inland" follows two main characters: Nora Lark, a resilient frontierswoman, and Lurie Mattie, a former outlaw haunted by his past.
The novel alternates between their perspectives, capturing the struggles and desires of both characters in a lawless and drought-ridden land. 
The lyrical, visceral prose blends historical grit with magical realism, exploring themes of loneliness, identity, and the human desire for belonging.
