 A long-lost book reappears\, mysteriously connecting an old man searching f
 or his son and a girl seeking a cure for her widowed mother's loneliness.\n
 \nLeo Gursky is just about surviving\, tapping his radiator each evening to
  let his upstairs neighbor know he's still alive. But life wasn't always li
 ke this: sixty years ago\, in the Polish village where he was born\, Leo fe
 ll in love and wrote a book. And though Leo doesn't know it\, that book sur
 vived\, inspiring fabulous circumstances\, even love. Fourteen-year-old Alm
 a was named after a character in that very book. And although she has her h
 ands full—keeping track of her brother\, Bird (who thinks he might be the M
 essiah)\, and taking copious notes on How to Survive in the Wild—she undert
 akes an adventure to find her namesake and save her family. With consummate
 \, spellbinding skill\, Nicole Krauss gradually draws together their storie
 s.\n\nThis extraordinary book was inspired by the author's four grandparent
 s and by a pantheon of authors whose work is haunted by loss—Bruno Schulz\,
  Franz Kafka\, Isaac Babel\, and more. It is truly a history of love: a tal
 e brimming with laughter\, irony\, passion\, and soaring imaginative power.
  \n\nPlease bring a dish to share with the group (whatever you like!) or le
 t us know in your RSVP if you want to provide drinks.  Thanks!\n\nSacrament
