Byram Book Club: The History of Sound (2025 GRT selection)

Join the Byram Book Club as they read this year's Greenwich Reads Together selection, The History of Sound, by Ben Shattuck.

A stunning collection of interconnected stories, set mostly in New England, exploring how the past is often misunderstood and how history, family, heartache, and desire can echo over centuries. In twelve luminous stories set across three centuries, each story has a companion story, which contains a revelation about the previous, paired story. Mysteries are revealed, history is refracted, and deep emotional connections are woven between characters and families. Shattuck's inventive, exquisite stories transport readers from colonial Nantucket to the woods of New Hampshire - into a landscape both enduring and unmistakably modern.
