Register and join us at Gorton (400 E Illinois Rd) for a conversation with author Patrick Ryan moderated by Rebecca Makkai. Sweeping yet intimate, resplendent with moments of deep emotion and unforgettable characters, Ryan's award-winning novel Buckeye follows the transportive story of love, loyalty, sacrifice, and forgiveness of two Ohio families from the 1920s through the 1960s. "Refreshingly timeless … With shades of Wallace Stegner's Crossing to Safety and Daniel Mason's North Woods, Buckeye is the rare novel that manages to be sweeping and intimate at the same time." —The New York Times ("Book of the Week")
