WV Living Book Club wraps up the year with Ann Pancake.
Join the WV Living Book Club on November 10, 2026, for a deep dive into Romney native Ann Pancake’s 2007 debut novel, Strange as This Weather Has Been. Mountaintop removal mining is becoming a part of daily life in southern West Virginia, and a family of six is living the reality. Lace is ready to fight the powers that be—much to the displeasure of her husband. Meanwhile, when her four children step outside, eager to escape the storm of their parents’ deteriorating marriage, they’re forced to make their own sense of the devastation that’s flooding—sometimes literally—into the only world they know.
You can be a part of the conversation in person or virtually. Just visit the WV Living website to register for the winter meeting and order your own copy of Strange as This Weather Has Been.
Bookstores and libraries are invited to join in on the fun! To become a participating partner, register on our Book Club page.
