Join Anne Crystal’s Brown Bag Book Club for our next read: Buckeye by Patrick Ryan and The Physician of Nineveh by Glenn Cooper.

Buckeye is a sweeping multigenerational novel following two Midwestern families in Bonhomie, Ohio, from the 1920s through the 1980s. A brief passionate encounter during the celebration of Allied victory in World War II creates a secret that reverberates across generations, exploring themes of love, loyalty, forgiveness, and the complexities of small-town American life.

The Physician of Nineveh is a historical thriller that follows an archaeologist who discovers ancient tablets revealing secrets from the ancient city of Nineveh. The discovery triggers a dangerous modern-day conspiracy, blending archaeological adventure with suspense. Cooper weaves together ancient Mesopotamian history and contemporary intrigue, exploring themes of ancient medicine, faith, and the enduring power of knowledge across time.
