Watch Bridge Book Club discussion of ‘The Other Me’
Bridge and more than 90 readers were joined by Michigan-born author Sarah Zachrich Jeng to talk about her debut novel. If you were not able to participate live, you can watch a recording of the talk between Gray and Amber DeLind, Bridge membership and engagement director, below.
“The Other Me,” a sci-fi/thriller novel, explores the choices we make and the ones made for us. Much of the book is set in Michigan.
During the Zoom, Zachrich Jeng discussed a number of themes, including her writing process, choosing a Michigan town as the setting for a major portion of her book, her perspective on technology and its role in our lives, the book’s themes of gender and self-determination and much more.
