A free book club discussion centers on The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, a national bestseller and Bram Stoker Award finalist that follows three women in different eras as witchcraft and danger converge. The narrative traces Minerva, a graduate student delving into the life of author Beatrice Tremblay, whose Depression-era fixation on a mysterious roommate and the novel The Vanishing points to a disappearance with real roots. As Minerva’s research deepens, a menacing presence seems to haunt the same campus, echoing stories from her great-grandmother’s youth in 1900s Mexico and extending its reach into Minerva’s own life in 1990s Massachusetts. The book has appeared on year-end best-of lists from NPR, Elle, Kirkus Reviews, Book Riot, Library Journal, Crime Reads, and She Reads, and has earned praise from Tananarive Due. This selection is part of Napa Bookmine’s reading BINGO, with each pick tied to a square on the card. Admission is free, and RSVPs are appreciated for planning.
