Abdul\, an enterprising teenager\, sees “a fortune beyond counting” in the recyclable garbage that richer people throw away. Meanwhile Asha\, a woman of formidable ambition\, has identified a shadier route to the middle class. With a little luck\, her beautiful daughter\, Annawadi’s “most-everything girl\,” might become its first female college graduate. And even the poorest children\, like the young thief Kalu\, feel themselves inching closer to their dreams. But then Abdul is falsely accused in a shocking tragedy; terror and global recession rock the city; and suppressed tensions over religion\, caste\, sex\, power\, and economic envy turn brutal.\n\nWith intelligence\, humor\, and deep insight into what connects people to one another in an era of tumultuous change\, Behind the Beautiful Forevers\, based on years of uncompromising reporting\, carries the reader headlong into one of the twenty-first century’s hidden worlds–and into the hearts of families impossible to forget. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book \n \n \n \n Audiobook \n \n \n \n Large Print \n \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eAudio \n \n \n \n eBook URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/book-club-6/ LOCATION:CLP – West End\, 47 Wabash St\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15220\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club,Social Gatherings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/behind-the-beautiful-forevers-1080x600-1.jpg GEO:40.4400574;-80.034045 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – West End 47 Wabash St Pittsburgh PA 15220 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=47 Wabash St:geo:-80.034045,40.4400574 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270114T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270114T183000 DTSTAMP:20261109T175158Z CREATED:20261019T142440Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261109T175158Z UID:10008908-1799947800-1799951400@carnegielibrary.org SUMMARY:Page Turners Book Club DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lively discussion on John of John by Douglas Stuart. This program takes place in the Director’s Office Conference Room on the first floor. \nSome copies of the title will be available at the New & Featured desk on the first floor at CLP-Main. \n  \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n In the Catalog\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n John of John\n Douglas Stuart \n \n\n Out of money and with little to show for his art school education\, John-Calum Macleod takes the ferry back home to the Isle of Harris to find that little has changed except for him. He returns to the windswept croft and the two pillars of his childhood: his father John\, a sheep farmer\, tweed weaver\, and lay preacher in the local Presbyterian church\, and his maternal grandmother Ella\, a profanity-loving Glaswegian whose steady warmth helped Cal weather the sudden departure of his mother. Cal privately wonders if any lonely men might be found on the barren hillsides of home\, while John is dismayed by his son’s long hair\, strange clothes\, and seeming unwillingness to be Saved. But Cal isn’t the only one in the croft house who is keeping secrets. As lambing season turns to shearing season\, the threads holding the community together become increasingly frayed\, and nothing will remain as it was before. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book \n \n \n \n \n \n Hoopla\n \n \n \n eBook \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eAudio \n \n \n \n eBook URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/page-turners-book-club-8/ LOCATION:CLP – Main (Oakland)\, 4400 Forbes Avenue\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15213\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/john-of-john-1080x600-1.jpg GEO:40.4431957;-79.949915 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – Main (Oakland) 4400 Forbes Avenue Pittsburgh PA 15213 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=4400 Forbes Avenue:geo:-79.949915,40.4431957 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270114T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270114T190000 DTSTAMP:20261109T175503Z CREATED:20261019T140500Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261109T175503Z UID:10008905-1799949600-1799953200@carnegielibrary.org SUMMARY:Cookbook Club DESCRIPTION:Join us for a new cookbook club with the Library!
