SUMMARY:Between Two Worlds Book Discussion - Thistlefoot (with special guest GennaRose Nethercott!)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of Thistlefoot by GennaRose Nethercott 
 with the author!\n\n"The Yaga siblings—Bellatine\, a young woodworker\, 
 and Isaac\, a wayfaring street performer and con artist—have been 
 estranged since childhood\, separated both by resentment and by wide miles 
 of American highway. But when they learn that they are to receive an 
 inheritance\, the siblings agree to meet—only to discover that their 
 bequest isn’t land or money\, but something far stranger: a sentient 
 house on chicken legs. \n\nThistlefoot\, as the house is called\, has 
 arrived from the Yagas’ ancestral home outside Kyiv—but not alone. A 
 sinister figure known only as the Longshadow Man has tracked it to American 
 shores\, bearing with him violent secrets from the past: fiery memories 
 that have hidden in Isaac and Bellatine’s blood for generations. As the 
 Yaga siblings embark with Thistlefoot on a final cross-country tour of 
 their family’s traveling theater show\, the Longshadow Man follows in 
 relentless pursuit\, seeding destruction in his wake. Ultimately\, time\, 
 magic\, and legacy must collide—erupting in a powerful conflagration to 
 determine who gets to remember the past and craft a new future.  \n\nAn 
 enchanted adventure illuminated by Jewish myth and adorned with lyrical 
 prose as tantalizing and sweet as briar berries\, Thistlefoot is a sweeping 
 epic rich in Eastern European folklore: a powerful and poignant exploration 
 of healing from multi-generational trauma told by a bold new 
 talent."\n\nSpace is open to all who wish to attend. The first 15 to 
 register will receive a copy of the book to keep. \n\n\nThis event is part 
 of Between Two Worlds\, an ongoing series inspired and supported by the 
 Yiddish Book Center. Between Two Worlds is an exploration of memory\, 
 belonging\, language\, and written and oral storytelling\, through the lens 
 of Yiddish culture and the many worlds of Easthampton.
