Lantern Reads Book Group: Never Name the Dead

Lantern Reads is a Boston Public Library book group for adults that explores a broad range of fiction and nonfiction. The December discussion centers on *Never Name the Dead* by D.M. Rowell, a mystery about a Kiowa woman whose family, tribe, and ancestral land are endangered as old grudges, tribal traditions, and outside pressures lead to theft, betrayal, and murder. The December theme is “First in a Series.”

The group typically meets on the first Thursday of each month at the Central Library in Copley Square.
