Downers Grove Public Library

Meeting Room Both (Max Capacity 100)

We'll discuss A Marriage at Sea by Sophie Elmhirst. Books are available at the Adult and Teen Services Desk one month before each discussion.

The electrifying true story of a young couple shipwrecked at sea: a mind-blowing tale of obsession, survival, and partnership stretched to its limits. Taut, propulsive, and dazzling, A Marriage At Sea pairs adrenaline-fueled high seas adventure with a gutting love story that asks why we love difficult people, and who we become under the most extreme conditions imaginable.

Contact the Adult & Teen Services Desk at ATS@dglibrary.org with questions.
