Barnes & Noble has chosen The Listeners by Maggie Stiefvater (Viking) as its June national book club pick. In a live virtual event on Tuesday, July 8, at 3 p.m. Eastern, Stiefvater will be in conversation with Megan McDowell, store manager of the Barnes & Noble at The Arboretum in Austin, Tex.
B&N described the book this way: "Set during World War II, The Listeners follows the life of June Porter Hudson, General Manager of The Avallon Hotel & Spa, an opulent Appalachian retreat that has agreed to host captured Axis diplomats. With whispered secrets, skeptic staff, and spies now lurking the halls of the luxury lodge, June must manage the war that wages within her as personal and professional loyalties begin to clash. This is a must-read for all historical fiction fans, and a haunting, mesmerizing portrayal of wartime high society."
