Weed Memorial & Hollander Branch Book Discussion via Zoom: Iona Iverson's Rules for Commuting by Clare Pooley

Iona Iverson's Rules for Commuting by Clare Pooley

Every day Iona Iverson rides the train to work with her dog, Lulu. Every day she sees the same people, whom she knows only by nickname. Of course, they never speak; seasoned commuters never do. Then one morning, one commuter chokes on a grape right in front of her. He’d have died were it not for the timely intervention of Sanjay, a nurse, who gives him the Heimlich maneuver. 

This single event starts a chain reaction, and an eclectic group of people discovers that talking to strangers can teach you quite a bit about the world around you—and even more about yourself.
