Diana Wynne Jones Adult Book Discussion/Club: "The Return of the Thief" by Megan Whalen Turner

The Diana Wynne Jones Adult Book Discussion/Club is a virtual group that alternates discussing a novel by DWJ with one written by an author who either influenced DWJ or was influenced by her works. This month we continue reading through Megan Whalen Turner's "The Thief" series with book six "The Return of the Thief":

This beloved and award-winning series began with the acclaimed novel The Thief. It and four more stand-alone volumes bring to life a world of epics, myths, and legends, and feature one of the most charismatic and incorrigible characters of fiction, Eugenides the thief. Now more powerful and cunning than ever before, Eugenides must navigate a perilous future in this sweeping conclusion. 

Neither accepted nor beloved, Eugenides is the uneasy linchpin of a truce on the Lesser Peninsula, where he has risen to be high king of Attolia, Eddis, and Sounis. As the treacherous Baron Erondites schemes anew and a prophecy appears to foretell the death of the king, the ruthless Mede empire prepares to strike.

Registration is required. A reminder and list of discussion questions will be sent the day before the discussion. A Zoom link will be sent to registrants a few hours before the discussion. Email tmantrone@bklynlibrary.org for more information.
