Urbana-Champaign is fortunate to be home to a plethora of creative individuals—many of whom are writers. Whether born in Central Illinois or here by choice, these local authors have provided us with hours of enjoyment. Join UFL Reads! this spring as we sample their books.
Special news! Author Sarah Wisseman will join us as we discuss her book, The Dead Sea Codex. We'll learn "How to travel in our pajamas" and find out about her latest work, which is set during the Prohibition Era in Illinois.
CU author Wisseman is an archaeological scientist at UIUC. Dead Sea Codex, the first in Wisseman’s original mystery series, introduces us to the Boston museum curator and archaeologist, Lisa Donohue. Back in Israel, her undergrad haunt, newly-engaged Lisa discovers fragments of a significant papyrus. Lisa joins forces with her former love, Greg, to track down the rest of the missing document, and the couple’s attraction strongly rekindles. What will be the fate of the codex-- and of fiancé Tom?
UFL Reads!--our book club for adults--meets the fourth Sunday of most months.
