Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam

Add to Calendar

The Kendallville Public Library is teaming up with the Community Learning Center for Matt's Book Club! Pick up a copy at KPL or the CLC and start reading to be ready for the discussion.

Amanda and Clay head out to a remote corner of Long Island expecting a vacation: a quiet reprieve from life in New York City, quality time with their teenage son and daughter, and a taste of the good life in the luxurious home they’ve rented for the week. But a late-night knock on the door breaks the spell. Ruth and G. H. are an older black couple—it’s their house, and they’ve arrived in a panic. They bring the news that a sudden blackout has swept the city. But in this rural area—with the TV and internet now down, and no cell phone service—it’s hard to know what to believe.

Should Amanda and Clay trust this couple—and vice versa? What happened back in New York? Is the vacation home, isolated from civilization, a truly safe place for their families? And are they safe from one another? 

Check out a copy of the book from our Book Club shelf. Please be sure to register for the book discussion by calling 343-2010 or through our online event calendar at www.kendallvillelibrary.org.

When you attend two book club sessions, you will receive a book club journal to keep track what you are reading!
