.@GrCalLibrary librarian Beth recommends Lark Ascending by Silas House for a poignant, #dystopian (yet eerily recognizable) read. Check out her review: bit.ly/3AeFy6E #BookRecommendations
The book cover shows a waterfall lit by rainbow lights falling between rocks. The sky is red with fire or sunset. Text reads No one ever thought it could happen here, but we were overestimating human beings. LCPL recommends
