We hope you will join us at the home of Susan Graham for our first meeting of the Newcomers year as we discuss the very popular Gone Girl: A Novel by Gillian Flynn. Please RSVP on the Newcomers website by Monday, September 24th. Kindly bring either something savoury or sweet - but casual and small in quantity - or a drink to share. We hope you are able to join us!
From Amazon.com Book Review:
On the day of their fifth wedding anniversary, Nick's wife Amy disappears. There are signs of struggle in the house and Nick quickly becomes the prime suspect. It doesn't help that Nick hasn't been completely honest with the police and, as Amy's case drags out for weeks, more and more vilifying evidence appears against him. Nick, however, maintains his innocence. Told from alternating points of view between Nick and Amy, Gillian Flynn creates an untrustworthy world that changes chapter-to-chapter. Calling Gone Girl a psychological thriller is an understatement. As revelation after revelation unfolds, it becomes clear that the truth does not exist in the middle of Nick and Amy's points of view; in fact, the truth is far more dark, more twisted, and more creepy than you can imagine. Gone Girl is masterfully plotted from start to finish and the suspense doesn't waver for one page. It's one of those books you will feel the need to discuss immediately after finishing because the ending doesn't just come; it punches you in the gut. --Caley Anderson
Copies of Gone Girl may be purchased from your favorite bookseller or requested individually from the Ridgfield Library.
