This month's Adult Book Discussion book will be Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam.

Amanda and Clay head out to a remote corner of Long Island expecting a vacation: a quiet reprieve from life in New York City and a taste of the good life in the luxurious home they’ve rented for the week. But a late-night knock on the door breaks the spell. Ruth and G. H. are an older black couple—it’s their house, and they’ve arrived in a panic. A sudden blackout has swept the city. But in this rural area—with the TV and internet now down—it’s hard to know what to believe.
