A friendly Sylvan Oaks Library book group discussion featuring Buckeye by Patrick Ryan.
This month, the Sylvan Oaks Library book group will be discussing Buckeye by Patrick Ryan β a sweeping, character-rich novel about two families whose lives become intertwined across decades of American history. Set largely in small-town Ohio, the story begins with a brief but unforgettable moment on V-E Day and follows the lasting effects of love, secrets, loyalty, regret, and the choices people carry through their lives. Warm, reflective, and emotionally layered, Buckeye offers plenty of room for thoughtful conversation about family, forgiveness, memory, and the complicated ways ordinary lives are shaped by history.
Whether youβre a longtime mystery and literary fiction fan or just discovering the genre, new participants are always welcome. Come share your thoughts, hear different perspectives, and connect with other readers in a relaxed and friendly setting.
