January’s book club pick

Happy New Year!! Our theme for January is retellings. Find us on the Bookclubs app & join us on 1/25 at 4pm PST for this month’s meeting!

📚Book Details📚

Title: Hemlock & Silver

Author: T. kingfisher

Synopsis: Healer Anja regularly drinks poison.

Not to die, but to save―seeking cures for those everyone else has given up on.

But a summons from the King interrupts her quiet, herb-obsessed life. His daughter, Snow, is dying, and he hopes Anja’s unorthodox methods can save her.

Aided by a taciturn guard, a narcissistic cat, and a passion for the scientific method, Anja rushes to treat Snow, but nothing seems to work. That is, until she finds a secret world, hidden inside a magic mirror. This dark realm may hold the key to what is making Snow sick.

Or it might be the thing that kills them all.
