This is “the tale of a bereaved & pursued musician embarking under sail on a sentient Lake Superior in search of his departed, deeply beloved, bookselling wife. Rainy, an endearing bear of an Orphean narrator, seeks refuge in the harbors, fogs & remote islands of the inland sea…Amidst the Gulliver-like challenges of life at sea & no safe landings, Rainy is lifted by physical beauty, surprising humor, generous strangers, & an unexpected companion in a young girl who comes aboard” (Amazon). Meet up at the library with fellow book club members to talk about I Cheerfully Refuse by Leif Enger. Available at the library & via MeL.org in regular print, large print, & audiobook. This title is also available as an ebook & e-audiobook through Libby, & an ebook on Hoopla.
