Pages & Pints

Thursday, October 207:00—8:30 PMLeonard Street, Belmont Center

Join us offsite for this new book group, aimed at people in their 20's & 30's (and the young at heart). We'll grab a table at Trinktisch, grab a drink and snack if you're so inclined, and settle in to talk books!

Our October title is The Verifiers by Jane Pek. Read on a for a brief description...

Claudia is used to disregarding her fractious family’s model-minority expectations: she has no interest in finding either a conventional career or a nice Chinese boy. She’s also used to keeping secrets from them, such as that she prefers girls—and that she’s just been stealth-recruited by Veracity, a referrals-only online-dating detective agency.
A lifelong mystery reader who wrote her senior thesis on Jane Austen, Claudia believes she’s landed her ideal job. But when a client vanishes, Claudia breaks protocol to investigate—and uncovers a maelstrom of personal and corporate deceit. Part literary mystery, part family story, The Verifiers is a clever and incisive examination of how technology shapes our choices, and the nature of romantic love in the digital age.
