The Museum book club reads a wide range of books from the Nordic countries that can be bought in the Museum Store. In August we will discuss The Mercies by Kiran Millwood Hargrave. After a storm appears to have eliminated a Norwegian coastal village's male population, the remaining women must face the resulting devastation. To add to it, new visitors have arrived to eliminate the surviving women whom they suspect to be guilty of witchcraft.
