SUMMARY:Book Club: Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt by Ben Reeves
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Book Club at Bedford Books on Thursday September 17 at 6:30pm. We will be discussing Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt by Ben Reeves. \nThere will be lively discussion\, questions posed and answered and time to connect with fellow YS Members. \nThis is a zero pressure book club – didn’t quite finish the book? Come anyway. \nHosted by Fran Hauser & Emily Winograd Leonard. \nLight refreshments will be available. \n  \nMember RSVP required. \n  \nThis book is available for purchase at Bedford Books! You can also purchase the book on the Bedford Books website here and have it shipped to you. \n  \n  \nAbout the Book \nTravis is Death in the modern world. He lives with his cat in a small\, gray town. His job is to offer people comfort in their final hours of life\, which he does without complaint or judgement. He’s stoic\, gentle\, and a little naive\, despite who he is\, but he never tries to change anyone’s fate. He is responsible for maintaining the balance of nature\, and every life must eventually end. \nThen Travis meets Dalia\, a midwife\, and her boisterous eight-year-old daughter Layla\, who live across the hall\, and despite his best attempts to keep his distance\, he finds himself wholeheartedly embraced by other people for the first time. So it is with this seemingly unremarkable family that Travis begins to understand what it means to be truly alive—and what might be irrevocably lost in death. \nWritten with radiant warmth\, wisdom\, and compassion\, Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt is a timeless and ultimately uplifting story about appreciating life\, accepting its end\, and finding our place in the universe—especially when it feels most impossible—that will resonate with anyone who has ever loved and lost or worried about time’s passing. \n  \nAbout the Author \nBen Reeves lives in Peterborough\, UK\, with his wife and two children. An early draft of Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt won the international 2024 Bath Novel Award. When he’s not writing\, he paints\, makes music\, and works as a web designer for a book printing company. \n  \n  \nLocation:\nBedford Books\n13 Court Road\nBedford\, NY 10506
