This month’s Adult Book Discussion book will be Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam.

Amanda and Clay head out to a remote corner of Long Island for a quiet reprieve from life in the city and a taste of the good life. But a late-night knock on the door breaks the spell. The owners of their rental have arrived in a panic. A sudden blackout has swept the New York. But in this rural area—with the TV and internet now down—it’s hard to know what to believe.
