Book Discussion Group April Choice -- THE GARGOYLE

The Edinboro University Book Discussion Group met last evening. After members discussed Michael Pollan’s book, The Botany of Desire, they decided to hold their next book discussion on Tuesday, April 13. Andrew Davidson’s book, The Gargoyle, was selected as the reading for April. The April 13 meeting will be held in Baron-Forness Library room 715 at 6:45 pm.
The Gargoyle: the mesmerizing story of one man’s descent into personal hell and his quest for salvation.

"On a dark road in the middle of the night, a car plunges into a ravine. The driver survives the crash, but his injuries confine him to a hospital burn unit. There the mysterious Marianne Engel, a sculptress of grotesques, enters his life. She insists they were lovers in medieval Germany, when he was a mercenary and she was a scribe in the monastery of Engelthal. As she spins the story of their past lives together, the man’s disbelief falters; soon, even the impossible can no longer be dismissed." KnopfDoubleday.com Vintage / Anchor
