Natchaug book club for November

November 11, 2025

To honor Native American Heritage Month, we will discuss Swim Home to the Vanished by Brendan Shay Basham on Tuesday, Nov. 18, at 9:30 a.m. and Friday, Nov. 21, at  3 p.m. (subject to change).

When the river swallowed Kai, Damien’s little brother didn’t die so much as vanish. As the unbearable loss settles deeper into his bones, Damien, a small-town line cook, walks away from everything he has ever known. Driving as far south as his old truck and his legs allow, he lands in a fishing village beyond the reach of his past where he hopes he can finally forget. He soon finds that the village has grief of its own.

There will be two copies to borrow at the main hospital front desk. Please do not keep a copy of the book more than 10 days so they can make the rounds if necessary. Click the title for the Amazon link if you prefer to purchase a copy or use Libby with your library card and check the book out at https://libbyapp.com/interview/welcome#

We will email a Teams link before the meeting. Please reach out to Kate at Katherine.mcnulty@hhchealth.org with any questions.
