Theo of Golden by Allen Levi is the November book pick for the We’re Talkin’ Books! Club meeting. Join in person at the Civic Center Library in the Board Room or via Zoom at https://tinyurl.com/WTBLPL on Thursday, November 5, at 7 p.m. "One spring morning, a stranger arrives in the small southern city of Golden. No one knows where he has come from ... or why ... His name is Theo. And he asks a lot more questions than he answers. Theo visits the local coffeehouse, where ninety-two pencil portraits hang on the walls, portraits of the people of Golden done by a local artist. He begins purchasing them, one at a time, and putting them back in the hands of their "rightful owners." With each exchange, a story is told, a friendship born, and a life altered. A story of giving and receiving, of seeing and being seen, Theo of Golden is a beautifully crafted novel about the power of creative generosity, the importance of wonder to a purposeful life, and the invisible threads of kindness that bind us to one another"- Atria Books Book Clubs at the Livermore Public Library
