More Than I Love My Life by David Grossman, an International Booker Prize nominee, chronicles three generations of women as they travel to a barren Croatian island to reveal a secret. Here they unravel fear, love, mercy and the complex overlapping demands of romantic and parental desires. The selection will be explored at the next meeting of the Book Circle, to be held on Thursday, Dec. 15, at 4:15 p.m., on Zoom.

The novel was inspired by the true story of one of the author’s longtime confidants who, in the early 1950s, was imprisoned there.
