Join us for an informal and relaxed discussion of Rebecca Makkai's "The Great Believers". Copies are available at the Munster branch.
In 1985, Yale Tishman, the development director for an art gallery in Chicago, is about to pull off an amazing coup, bringing in an extraordinary collection of 1920s paintings as a gift to the gallery. Yet as his career begins to flourish, the carnage of the AIDS epidemic grows around him. Soon the only person he has left is Fiona, his friend Nico's little sister. Thirty years later, Fiona is in Paris tracking down her estranged daughter who disappeared into a cult. During her search she finds herself finally grappling with the devastating ways AIDS affected her life and her relationship with her daughter.
