Jack Morgan - From the moment we opened And Ye Shall Be as Gods, The New Chapter book club was captivated. The first five chapters gave us so much to discuss that we could have filled an entire evening without even moving further. The opening scene set the tone beautifully Jacob’s dry humor, his careful observations, and that subtle current of sadness pulled us right in.

By Chapter 2, the funeral scene hit like a wave; we were struck by how Jan Notzon balanced the grief of loss with moments of grace and even humor. Grace’s vulnerability is already so deeply felt, and the quiet love Jacob shows her is nothing short of moving. We all agreed this is the kind of story that will stay with us, and several members have already told friends to get a copy so they can join our discussions. If this is just the start, we can’t wait to see what’s ahead.
