Jennifer Cody Epstein, a PS29 parent and acclaimed fiction writer is offering 12 copies of her latest book, The Gods of Heavenly Punishment (chosen as "Book of the Week" by Oprah.com), and a group discussion with up to 12 people in your home with the author! A great treat whether for an established book club or ad hoc group of fiction-lovers.

A lush, exquisitely rendered meditation on war, The Gods of Heavenly Punishment tells the story of several families, American and Japanese, their loves and infidelities, their dreams and losses, and how they are all connected by one of the most devastating acts of war in human history.
