No matter how far we may wander, Texas lingers with us, coloring our perceptions of the world.
— Elmer Kelton, Texas Western Fiction Author
Next up from the NCHM Book Club: Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid.
New York Times best-selling novelist Taylor Jenkins Reid takes us to Houston and the NASA space program in the early 1980s with Atmosphere. Reid, known for immersing readers in fully developed historical moments, brings us the story of Joan Goodwin, a Rice University Professor of Physics who joins NASA as one of the first female scientists in the shuttle program. The book has been lauded for its fidelity to life in the 1980s and for Goodwin's fast-paced and emotional professional and personal journeys against the backdrop of our national commitment to the space race.
Join us in person on November 17th at 10:30AM to discuss Atmosphere, with lunch following the conversation. For those unable to join us in person, we will have a zoom conversation on the afternoon of November 19th at 2:00PM.
Wonder what we have been reading? Take a peek, and then join us at our next meeting!
