Adult Book Club Discussion

The Boys by Katie Hafner

Please join us for one of our meetings of our Adult Book Club scheduled for Friday, January 10, at 1:30 pm and Tuesday, January 14, at 1:00 pm  We will be discussing the book "The Boys" by Katie Hafner.

 

When introverted Ethan Fawcett marries fun-loving Barb, so comfortable in the world, he has every reason to believe he will be delivered from a lifetime of solitude. She fills his world with a sense of adventure, expanding his horizons beyond his comfortable routine. To ease Ethan’s fears of becoming a father, Barb suggests they foster two young brothers, Tommy and Sam, and Ethan immediately falls in love with the boys.

When the pandemic hits, he becomes obsessed with providing a perfect life for them. But instead of bringing Barb and Ethan closer together, the boys become a wedge in their relationship, as Ethan is unable to share with Barb a secret that has been haunting him since childhood. Then Ethan takes Tommy and Sam on a biking trip in Italy, and it becomes clear just how unusual Ethan and his boys are.

 

Copies of the book are available for checkout at the library.
