Novel Conversations is a book group that alternates between classic novels and more recent works of fiction and nonfiction. Participants are welcome to come to all the meetings or just those that sound interesting.  Multiple copies of each book are available for checkout in the library and are, whenever possible, made available in large print, audiobook, and ebook editions.

Novel Conversations meets on the third Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm on Zoom.  Email mjorgensen@coralville.org for the Zoom link.

Ray comes from a criminal family, but makes a living as a furniture salesman who only occasionally fences stolen goods. Times are hard, though, and his cousin Freddie convinces Ray to help in a heist that goes wrong.
