Cammy Sitting Shiva by Cary Gitter

Join us for a free special book club discussion of Cammy Sitting Shiva by Cary Gitter, a stirring and darkly funny novel about grief, family, identity, and what it means to come home. Author Cary Gitter will join us virtually, giving participants the unique opportunity to hear directly from him, gain deeper insight into the novel, and ask questions about the story and his writing process.

When Cammy Adler’s beloved father unexpectedly dies, she returns to the small New Jersey hometown she left behind to sit shiva with her family. Nearly thirty, somewhat aimless, and suddenly back in her childhood bedroom, Cammy finds herself navigating seven turbulent days of mourning, complicated family relationships, old friendships, past loves, and unexpected revelations about the father she thought she knew so well.

With humor and heart, Cammy Sitting Shiva explores the complicated emotions that come with loss and the ways returning to our roots can force us to take a closer look at who we are, where we come from, and where we truly belong.

Whether you have finished the book or simply want to be part of an engaging conversation, we invite you to join us for a thoughtful, lively discussion and a special opportunity to spend time with the author behind the story.
