Village Books is proud to welcome Tim Egan back after a great turn as our Whatcom Reads featured author of 2019!

During a time when America, and much of Europe are increasingly secular, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author, Timothy Egan set out to reckon with his own beliefs. Prompted by his Irish Catholic family's complicated history with the church and in the wake of his mother’s death, Egan decided to follow in the footsteps of centuries of seekers.

Karl Marlantes made his name with the critically acclaimed New York Times bestseller, the “powerful and moving” (James Fallows, Atlantic) Matterhorn: A Novel of the Vietnam War. Now with his new novel, Deep River, Marlantes applies the epic narrative sweep of Matterhorn to a family saga about Finnish immigrants to the Pacific Northwest.
