SUMMARY:Moon Palace Queer Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Event by Moon Palace Books \nPublic  ·  Join us for Queer Book Club every second Wednesday from 7-8pm at Quatrefoil Library\, 1220 East Lake Street\, Minneapolis\, MN 55407! (Please note that in the summer we will only meet at Quatrefoil if it rains. Otherwise we will meet at Brackett Park.) \n  \nQueer Book Club February\n\n\n\nWednesday Feb 12th\, 2025\n\n\n7:00 PM\n\n\n–\n\n\n8:00 PM\n\n\n Quatrefoil Library\, 1220 East Lake Street\, Minneapolis\, MN 55407\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for Queer Book Club on Wednesday\, February 12th\, at 7:00pm at Quatrefoil Library\, 1220 East Lake Street\, Minneapolis\, MN 55407. We’ll be discussing Wild Geese by Soula Emmanuel. Anyone is welcome to join whether you’ve read the whole book or just skimmed a few pages. We meet the second Wednesdays of every month! \nPhoebe Forde has a new home\, a new name\, and is newly thirty. An Irish transplant and PhD candidate\, she’s overeducated and underpaid\, but finally settling into her new life in Copenhagen. Almost three years into her gender transition\, Phoebe has learned to move through the world carefully\, savoring small moments of joy. After all\, a woman without a past can be anyone she wants. But an unexpected visit from her ex-girlfriend Grace brings back memories of Dublin and the life she thought she’d left behind. Over the course of a weekend\, their romance rekindles into something sweet and radically unfamiliar as Grace helps Phoebe navigate the jagged edges of nostalgia and hope. \nWritten with wit and warmth\, Wild Geese is a tale of dislocations and relocations\, encounters\, and accidents: a novel of past lives\, messy feelings\, and the desire to start afresh.
