One Book, One Henderson is an annual event aiming to get everyone talking about the same book. Books are available at libraries and online. This year’s selection, The Fox Wife, is by Yangsze Choo. It begins in 1908 Manchuria and explores a world of mortals and spirits, humans and beasts, and their dazzling intersections. Epic in scope and full of singular, unforgettable characters, The Fox Wife is a stunning novel about old loves and second chances, the depths of maternal love, and ancient folktales that might very well be true.
On October 1 the author will be at the Henderson Multigenerational Center (250 S. Green Valley Parkway) for a book signing. You can get a copy there.
It's free, but go to "Get Tickets" and you can find out more, hear music related to the book's setting, see art inspired by The Fox Wife, participate in a book club discussion, and find links to the ebook and audiobook.
