The Vulnerables offers a meditation on our contemporary era, as a solitary female narrator asks what it means to be alive at this complex moment in history and considers how our present reality affects the way a person looks back on her past. Equally vital is connection with others, who include a spirited parrot named Eureka. The Vulnerables reveals what happens when strangers are willing to open their hearts to each other and how far even small acts of caring can go to ease another’s distress.

There is a book for everything . . .In the wake of a shocking tragedy, Natalie Harper inherits her mother’s charming but financially strapped bookshop in San Francisco. She also becomes caretaker for her ailing grandfather. After she moves into the small studio apartment above the shop, Natalie hires a contractor to do necessary repairs. His young daughter also becomes a regular at the store, and she and Natalie begin reading together. To Natalie’s surprise, her sorrow begins to dissipate as her life becomes an unexpected journey of new connections, discoveries, and revelations, including unearthing artifacts hidden in the bookshop’s walls.
CJE Virtual Book Club will be taking a break for the month of September and October. We will resume our regular book reviews in November.
