While we may not be able to meet in person right now, book clubs are still a great way to connect socially and stay engaged! QueerKPL will be hosting this book club as part of our QueerKPL Media Club.

Registration required.

We will be discussing Polar Vortex by Shani Mootoo. This title is also available as an ebook from Download Library and an e-audiobook from Hoopla.

Priya and Alexandra have moved from the city to a picturesque Countryside town. What Alex doesn't know is that, in moving, Priya is running from her past-from a fraught relationship with an old friend, Prakash, who pursued her for many years, both online and off. Time has passed, however, and Priya, confident that her ties to Prakash have been successfully severed, decides it's once more safe to establish an online presence. In no time, Prakash finds Priya and contacts her. Impulsively, inexplicably, Priya invites him to visit her and Alex in the country, without ever having come clean with Alex about their relationship-or its tumultuous end. Prakash's reentry into Priya's life reveals cracks in her and Alex's relationship and brings into question Priya's true intentions.
