PAW BOOK CLUB

Welcome to PAW Book Club, where Princeton alumni and friends read a book together.

 

Here’s how it works: Four times a year, members read a book — written by an alum or faculty member — and send their questions to the Princeton Alumni Weekly. We ask the author their questions, record the interview, and post it as a podcast. With each new read, PAW randomly selects 25 members to receive a FREE signed copy of the book.

Current Read

Society of Lies

Lauren Ling Brown ’12

Reunions is approaching at Princeton, bringing together two sisters — one a senior, the other returning 10 years after graduating. Both are members of Princeton’s most exclusive eating club, as well as a wealth-driven, secret society that operates within its walls.

Then the younger sister is found dead, and the older begins a desperate hunt to find out what happened. Brown has said that with this novel she wanted to tell a story about privilege, and that intent unfolds as her character peels back the protections that surround the secret society’s actions — and consequences.
