Our next 1892 Book Club pick has family secrets, a little magic, and a mystery that spans generations. 📚✨
The Phoenix Pencil Company by Allison King follows a young woman who discovers that her grandmother’s past—and her family’s extraordinary ability to recover words once written and erased—may hold answers to secrets that have been buried for decades.
Moving between present day and wartime China, the story weaves together family, memory, love, loss, and the enduring power of the written word. There’s plenty here to keep you turning pages—and plenty for us to talk about when we’re done.
