Greenwich Reads Together: a community-wide reading experience which engages all of Greenwich in exploring a single book.
A stunning collection of interconnected stories set in New England, exploring how the past is often misunderstood and how history, family, heartache, and desire can echo over centuries.
In twelve luminous stories set across three centuries, The History of Sound examines the unexpected ways the past returns to us and how love and loss are entwined and transformed over generations. In Ben Shattuck’s ingenious collection, each story has a companion story, which contains a revelation about the previous, paired story. Mysteries and murders are revealed, history is refracted, and deep emotional connections are woven through characters and families.

Shattuck will speak in the Berkley Theater at Greenwich Library on Tuesday, October 28 at 7pm. Registration will open three weeks ahead of the event.
