Book of the month: Over My Dead Body by Maz Evans

When the misanthropic Dr Miriam Price wakes up dead, her day has only just started to go wrong.

With everyone mistakenly thinking she killed herself, she's condemned to half a century in Limbo as a 'Death By Misadventure' - unless she can prove that she was murdered. Unable to communicate with anyone living, Miriam's investigative options look decidedly limited.

But she soon realises that Winnie, her elderly next-door neighbour - and mortal enemy - can see, hear and talk to her. The good news for Miriam is that the dying can interact with the dead. The bad news for Winnie is that if she can see Miriam, she hasn't got long to live. Now this unlikely detective duo must work together to solve Miriam's murder - and maybe avert Winnie's death - before time runs out for them both. And before they kill each other first...

* Please be considerate of other members and only RSVP if you are able to make it to the meeting.

Bellevue Book Club - The Island of Missing Trees
Sun, Jul 26 · 11:00 AM PDT
Bellevue Library, 1111 110th Avenue Northeast, Bellevue, WA, US
📘 Book of the Month (July): The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak
📍 Tentative Location: Bellevue Library
Meeting Room: TBD

Join us for our July Bellevue Book Club Meetup as we dive into a lyrical and moving story about love, loss, memory, and identity set against the backdrop of conflict and displacement. Whether you’ve finished the book, read a few chapters, or just want to listen in, you’re warmly welcome.

📝 Brief Book Summary (from Goodreads):
The Island of Missing Trees follows two teenagers - one Greek Cypriot and one Turkish Cypriot - who meet and fall in love on the divided island of Cyprus. Years later, their story is carried forward by their daughter in London, alongside an unusual narrator: a fig tree that bears witness to generations of love, trauma, and resilience. The novel beautifully explores themes of belonging, war, exile, and the healing power of nature and storytelling.
