The Evergreen Club is not a program, a support group, or a polite pastime for older people waiting to be managed. It is a room. A room with trained chairs, an unexplained pineapple, an egg timer that means more than it measures, a bag of very serious ice, a raven, a cat with poor judgment, and people old enough to know that not everything should be improved just because someone with a brochure says so.
At the center is Austen, who opens the door before you knock and understands that governance is what keeps a room from becoming a committee. But when the Department of Community Enrichment and Senior Engagement discovers the Club, it arrives with smiles, surveys, strategic visioning, and money. What begins as support becomes oversight, then programming, then paperwork, then the slow, cheerful conversion of a living place into an institution.
Wry, sharp, and exacting, The Evergreen Club is a novel about age, absurdity, bureaucracy, and the quiet things worth defending before someone explains them to death.
