Leif Enger discusses I CHEERFULLY REFUSE, our #bnbookclub April Book Club Selection!

Join Barnes & Noble as we welcome Leif Enger for a live, virtual event to discuss our April B&N Book Club pick, I CHEERFULLY REFUSE, a career defining tour-de-force from the New York Times bestselling, award-winning and “formidably gifted” (Chicago Tribune) author of Peace Like a River.

A storyteller “of great humanity and huge heart” (Minneapolis Star Tribune), Leif Enger debuted in the literary world with Peace Like a River which sold over a million copies and captured readers’ hearts around the globe. Now comes a new milestone in this boldly imaginative author’s accomplished, resonant body of work.

I CHEERFULLY REFUSE is a big-hearted, hopeful novel that's part adventure story, part love story, and a delight to read. The dialogue, characters and sense of place are unforgettable.

If you don't have a copy, please order the B&N Exclusive edition of the book before our book club event, which features an essay from the author, as well as a reading group guide.

Leif Enger will be in discussion Shannon DeVito, Sr. Director, Book Strategy and Customer Experience at B&N and Miwa Messer, Executive Producer of B&N's POURED OVER podcast.

PLEASE NOTE: There will be spoilers at this book club event!
