If you loved Brown's "The Book of Doors" (and I LOVED it), this is a fantastic 2nd book from Brown. It is about a society that collects, well, "unknowable" objects. I don't think you should know anything else going into this book. But much like BoD, it has great characters, great villains, wild originality, and a touch of romance/friendship connections that humanize it. I can't recommend this author's work highly enough.

Excellent debut novel, with both deep character development, and twist I absolutely did not see coming. (this is high praise, because I read a lot, and am VERY jaded by crappy "twists")

I would recommend this book to fans of "The Midnight Library," or books with themes of grappling with grief, letting go, and character introspection. My only complaint is that the title is frankly terrible. It makes the book sound like it's a women's historical fiction about a cozy book club. Which it is not.

'Finished in one sitting. Had no idea where it was going but knew there was something lurking. Incredible twist. Ends with a final lap of the ride when you think it is all over . . . I will be recommending this to friends' Ericka Waller

At seven o'clock one Tuesday evening, in a perfectly ordinary tower block near Westminster, four strangers meet for the first time. They each have three things in common: all suffered a traumatic experience six months earlier; all exhibit a dogged inability to put it behind them; and all accepted an invitation to attend tonight's…
