Book Club

Join us at the Quaker Street book club for a discussion of The Secret of Sunflowers by Marta Molnar.

The Secret of Sunflowers by Marta Molnar is a poignant and beautifully written novel that explores themes of healing, personal growth, and the complexities of human relationships. The story follows Emma, a woman grappling with the sudden death of her mother. In the wake of her loss, Emma embarks on a journey of self-discovery, seeking answers about her mother’s past while trying to reconcile with her own grief.

As she delves into her mother’s life, Emma uncovers secrets that change everything she thought she knew about her. One of the most significant discoveries is the role sunflowers played in her mother’s life, acting as a symbol of hope and resilience. Throughout the novel, the sunflower becomes a metaphor for Emma's own journey — a symbol of growing through adversity and embracing new beginnings.
