Spare, luminous, and poetic, Stoner is the story of a man’s lifelong passionate love affair with literature. Readers may take wildly different views of the protagonist, making this overlooked classic a great book for discussion.

One day Harold steps out to take a letter to the postbox, and keeps walking. And walking. What starts out as a simple trip to the postbox turns into a spiritual journey of self-discovery, and the adventures he has along the way and the people he encounters make for a great story.  Groups will find much to discuss in this ultimately redemptive adventure.

Individual readers and groups alike will find much to love in this epistolary novel set on the Isle of Guernsey during the German occupation, when the island was completely cut off from the United Kingdom for duration of the war.
