“One Book”
The Everett Public Library and Sno-Isle Libraries will present a community book discussion at 7 p.m. Nov. 8 at the main library.
The program, “Two Counties, One Book,” will talk about “Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress” by Dai Sijie, a short novel set in China during the Cultural Revolution. Two young storytellers discover a trove of forbidden Western literature, which opens up a new world to them, with unexpected consequences.
