Contemporary Books Discussion Group: The Butterfly Effect Mar 23, 2022 from 07:00 PM to 08:30 PM — Bettendorf: Bettendorf Public Library,: Please join us for a discussion of the 2022 All Iowa Reads selection: The Butterfly Effect by Rachel Mans McKenny. Greta Oto, an entomologist, prefers the company of bugs to humans, and people don't seem to like her much, with the exception of her twin brother, Danny, though they recently had a falling out. When she lands a research gig in the rainforest, she leaves them all behind. When Danny suffers an aneurysm, Greta abandons her research and hurries back to the Midwest to be there for him. Coming home means confronting what she left behind, including her lousy soon-to-be sister-in-law, her estranged mother, and her ex-boyfriend Brandon, who runs the butterfly conservatory. Dissertation woes mixed with romantic and family drama create chaos for Greta. Greta must ask herself if she has the courage to open up for the people she loves, and for those who want to love her. Rachel Mans McKenny is scheduled to join the discussion virtually through GoToMeeting. Please visit www.bettendorflibrary.com/adult-programs for more information. Books are available on a first-come basis at the Information Desk. You may also call the Library at 563-344-4179 to have a book signed out to you and placed on the Holds shelf. Remote attendance is possible; please register in order to have the login information sent to you (registration closes at 9 P.M. the evening before the discussion). This program is funded by the Friends of the Bettendorf Public Library.
