Bookclub Review

 

 

Quiet by Susan Cain was a thought provoking read for our nonfiction book club members, who rated it 4.5 out of 5 for its empowering merits.

The book offers reassuring validation for those who prefer small gatherings over large crowds and who value spending time alone to recharge.

It is a gratifying and comforting read for the quiet person who has ever felt overlooked in a world that often celebrates extroversion. We recommend Quiet as the perfect gift for your party avoiding friends, reserved partners, and timid loved ones. Encourage them to begin reading it straight after dinner.
