Skokie Public Library

Cosmos Room

This month we'll be discussing Xochitl Gonzalez's critically acclaimed novel.

First-generation Ivy League student Raquel discovers the remarkable work of forgotten artist Anita de Monte, whose tangled relationships before her suspicious death eerily echo Raquel's own relationships.

This discussion is in partnership with Morton Grove Public Library.
