A Perfect Book Club Read

The Shaman of Turtle Valley

Amy Hawes of Book Club Babble says, “THE SHAMAN OF TURTLE VALLEY is a brilliant and subtle novel, making it a perfect book club read!” She also says, “Clifford Garstang’s poignant telling of this story of loss, superstition, and family secrets leaves a mark on the soul.” You can read more of her comments and an interview with me at Book Club Babble.

I don’t know about the soul, but I do think there would be a lot in this book for a club to discuss, and if schedules and distance permit, I’d be delighted to join you (in person or by Skype). You can contact me in the comments below or at info@cliffordgarstang.com.
