Pacifica Book Club: 'Station Eleven', December 29th at Florey's!

Florey's welcomes you to our book club!

***Tuesday, December 29th, 7:30pm-9:00pm***

Join Pacifica's Book Club! This month we'll be discussing 'Station Eleven' by Emily St. John Mandel.

Kirsten Raymonde will never forget the night Arthur Leander, the famous Hollywood actor, had a heart attack on stage during a production of King Lear. That was the night when a devastating flu pandemic arrived in the city, and within weeks, civilization as we know it came to an end.

Twenty years later, Kirsten moves between the settlements of the altered world with a small troupe of actors and musicians. They call themselves The Traveling Symphony, and they have dedicated themselves to keeping the remnants of art and humanity alive. But when they arrive in St. Deborah by the Water, they encounter a violent prophet who will threaten the tiny band’s existence. And as the story takes off, moving back and forth in time, and vividly depicting life before and after the pandemic, the strange twist of fate that connects them all will be revealed.

Get to know your neighbors and enjoy casual engaging conversation. Wine & light bites. All are welcome.

"Walking the World" Book Event with Author Terrence Kero, December 12th at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes Pacifica author Terrence Kero as he discusses his new book, "Walking the World".

***Saturday, December 12th, 2pm-4pm***

About the Book:

The paramount story of the human race is begging to be told…

Walking the World, the first novel of Terrence Kero’s groundbreaking trilogy about human migration, tells the compelling story of prehistoric hunter-gatherers who had no crops, no domesticated animals, and no means of transportation besides their feet, people who walked and walked until they eventually populated the world. The novel opens in San Francisco in 1999, when Lisa Koskinen receives a gift from a distant relative in Finland: an odd necklace made of large canine teeth strung on a leather thong. With the help of carbon-dating and DNA analysis, Lisa and her parents gradually trace the history of the necklace and their family back to their earliest origins. Alternating between the present day and flashbacks to the bloody, dramatic first migration to Finland, Walking the World will have you living through heartbreaking struggles, intense romances, life-and-death encounters, crimes of passion, violent deaths, joyous births—all the tragedies and triumphs of the Koskinen clan from the dawn of time to the current day.

About the Author:

Terrence Kero is an electronic engineer who holds patents in computerized speech recognition and high-speed data networks. His journey from engineer to author began with an interest in tracing his Finnish-American family’s roots, a journey that eventually took him back to the earliest history of human migration. Walking the World is based on more than ten years of his research in anthropology and human genetics, and on his own travels along many of the rivers, mountain ranges, and other migration routes he describes in his novel. He has been a guest lecturer at Stanford and UC Berkeley, among other universities. Born in Moose Lake, Minnesota, he currently lives in Pacifica, California, a suburb of San Francisco, with his wife, Takoma.
