The Humanity Project
The Humanity Project: A Novel | Jean Thompson
3 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Year We Left Home, a dazzling new novel hailed as an instantly addictive...tale of yearning, paradox, and hope. (Booklist) After surviving a horrific shooting at her high school, fifteen-year-old Linnea is packed off to live with her estranged father, Art, in California. Art, not much more than a child himself, doesnt quite understand how or why he has suddenly become responsible for raising a sullenand probably deeply damagedadolescent girl. And although Linnea has little interest in her father, she becomes fascinated by the eccentric cast of characters surrounding him: Conner, a local handyman whose own home life is a war zone, and Christie, her neighbor, who has just been given the reins to a bizarrely named charity fund, the Humanity Project. As the Fund gains traction and Linnea begins to heal, the Humanity Project begs the question: Can you indeed pay someone to be good? At what price? Thompson proves herself at the height of her powers in The Humanity Project, crafting emotionally suspenseful and thoroughly entertaining characters, in which we inevitably see ourselves. Set against the backdrop of current events and cultural calamity, it is at once a multifaceted ensemble drama and a deftly observant story of our twenty-first-century society.

Hi everyone. I try to use this platform just for books, but this is super important. Word has gone out that eastern Aleppo has run out of food completely (and is low on everything else) and if they don't get aid in 20 days 250,000 people will die. Please, please, please. Call your state's reps and tell them getting eastern Aleppo aid needs to happen and now. Thank you for your help and spread the word!

A cup of tea and a new book - a good way to spend a rainy Friday. I hope all of you affected by the hurricane are safe. Thinking of all of you. ❤️

A typical trip to the library: I went to pick up a book on hold and came home with five more. Now, which one should I read first?🤔
