First Thursday of each month from 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM at Keeler Library. Copies of the books are available at the library for checkout. No registration is required.
Wednesday, December 19th - Love Medicine by Louise Edrich; Discussion Lead by Heather Ostman (Please note the change in date)
With astonishing virtuosity, each chapter draws on a range of voices to limn its tales. Black humor mingles with magic, injustice bleeds into betrayal, and through it all, bonds of love and family marry the elements into a tightly woven whole that pulses with the drama of life.
Thursday, January 3rd - Judas by Amos Oz
Jerusalem, 1959. Shmuel Ash, a biblical scholar, feels adrift when he finds work as a caregiver for a brilliant but cantankerous old man named Gershom Wald. Meanwhile the beautiful Atalia Abravanel entrances young Shmuel even as she keeps him at a distance. Piece by piece, the old Jerusalem stone house, haunted by tragic history and now home to the three misfits and their intricate relationship, reveals its secrets.
Thursday, February 7th - Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff
Every story has two sides. Every relationship has two perspectives. And sometimes, it turns out, the key to a great marriage is not its truths but its secrets. At the core of this rich, expansive, layered novel, Lauren Groff presents the story of one such marriage over the course of twenty-four years.
Thursday, March 7th - The Children Act by Ian McEwan
Fiona Maye is a leading High Court judge who presides over cases in the family division. She is called on to try an urgent case: Adam, a beautiful seventeen-year-old boy, is refusing for religious reasons the medical treatment that could save his life. When Fiona visits Adam in the hospital, the encounter stirs long-buried feelings in her and powerful new emotions in the boy. Her judgement will have momentous consequences for them both.
