Barnes & Noble has chosen Buckeye by Patrick Ryan (Random House) as its September national book club pick. In a live virtual event on Tuesday, October 7, at 3 p.m. Eastern, Ryan will be in conversation with Lexie Smyth, campaign manager for fiction at B&N, and frontlist buyer Brenda Allison.
B&N described the book this way: "A multigenerational family drama akin to the Pulitzer Prize winners Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout and Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides, this book is destined to join the canon of Great American Novels. This is not a book you simply read; it's a book you feel. Buckeye is a beautifully crafted work of historical fiction with an unyielding heartbeat that readers will absolutely devour this fall."
