ELLIOTT BAY BOOK GROUP

12/01/2009 6:30 pm
Each month, the Elliott Bay Book Club reads and discusses the best in contemporary fiction with the occasional classic thrown in for good measure. A bold and visionary work by one of our most celebrated writers, The Order of Good Cheer by Bill Gaston, tells two powerful stories separated by the breadth of a continent and exactly 400 years. The first follows legendary explorer and map-maker Samuel de Champlain and his companions, who struggle to endure the long, harsh winter of 1607 in the "new world". Bridging the divide across land and time is twenty-first-century blue-collar worker Andy Winslow, who lives in the Pacific Northwest and shares a hauntingly similar sense of the fragility, grandeur, and ironies of life.
