Bethesda Reads Book Discussion Club

Meeting Room 2 - Connie Morella Library

Interested in joining? The Book Club meets the second Thursday of each month from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm. We'll talk over the book Gabriel's Moon by William Boyd.

The book chosen for this month's discussion is Gabriel's Moon by William Boyd. This 2024 historical thriller novel centers on Gabriel Dax, a travel writer who becomes a reluctant spy during the Cold War, drawn into espionage by an MI6 handler while haunted by his mother's death in a fire. Set in the 1960s, the story follows Gabriel from London to the Congo and other locations as he navigates a world of intrigue, betrayal, and obsession, blending historical events with fictional characters. 

Copies of this book will be available at the check out desk, while supplies last.

Take a look at MCPL's adult fiction collection.
