Join us to discuss "Intimacies" by Katie Kitamura. Dinner at Baia Coastal Italian Kitchen at 6pm with book discussion at 7pm. Come for dinner, the discussion, or both!
"An interpreter has come to The Hague to escape New York and work at the international court. A woman of many languages and identities, she is looking for a place to finally call home.
She's drawn into simmering personal dramas. Her lover, Adriaan, is separated from his wife but still entangled in his marriage. Her friend Jana witnesses a seemingly random act of violence, a crime the interpreter becomes increasingly obsessed with as she befriends the victim's sister. And she's pulled into an explosive political controversy when she's asked to interpret for a former president accused of war crimes.
A woman of quiet passion, she confronts power, love, and violence, both in her personal intimacies and in her work at the court. She is soon pushed to the precipice, where betrayal and heartbreak threaten to overwhelm her, forcing her to decide what she wants from her life." - The Publisher
