Read with jennabushhager's November pick is “The Cloisters,” an evocative debut novel by heykatyhays! This is Read With Jenna’s second mystery novel — and the first book to come paired with an event 👀
In the book, Ann, a medievalist, graduates from college in Washington State hoping to pursue a career in academia. At the Cloisters over one summer, she gets an opportunity for a career-defining scholarly breakthrough — but it means being pulled into a web between Rachel Mondray, a wealthy and brilliant assistant, and head curator Patrick Roland.
Rachel, Ann and Patrick’s work is centered around assembling an incomplete deck of tarot cards from the Middle Ages in an attempt to prove they were used for divination. They use the deck to shed light into their future along the way. “It’s the perfect mystery on the outside. But inside it covers deep themes of destiny and fate,” she said.
Hays explained that “The Cloisters” came about through “a sad story” and a string of bad luck. Her first novel was not accepted by a publishing house. Then, she broke her leg. Without anywhere to go, she started plugging away at “The Cloisters.”
