RGD Book Club: The God of Endings

Why This Book? By Catherine

“What drew me to "The God of Endings" is its masterful exploration of the human psyche through an unconventional lens. Rather than focusing on supernatural thrills, this novel uses immortality as a mirror to reflect on what makes us deeply human. Holland weaves art and beauty through Collette's centuries-long journey, creating a haunting yet relatable story about finding meaning in existence. The story effectively balances Collette's personal growth with her struggle to find meaning in an endless existence, prompting us to reflect on our own relationship with time and purpose. If you love character-driven stories that make you think while tugging at your heartstrings, this book is absolutely for you!”

Collette LeSange has been hiding a dark secret: She is immortal. In 1834, Collette’s grandfather granted her the gift of eternal life, and since then, she has endured centuries of turmoil and heartache. Almost 150 years later, Collette is a lonely artist running an elite fine art school for children in upstate New York. But her life is suddenly upended by the arrival of a gifted child from a troubled home, the return of a stalking presence from her past, and her own mysteriously growing hunger for blood.
