BOOK DISCUSSIONS
Afternoon Book Club
|
The Afternoon Book Discussion Group will meet on Wednesday, September 1, at 2:00 p.m. to discuss “The Hare With Amber Eyes” by Edmund de Waal.
From Amazon: “Two hundred and sixty-four Japanese wood and ivory carvings, none of them larger than a matchbox: Edmund de Waal was entranced when he first encountered the collection in his great-uncle Iggie's Tokyo apartment. When he later inherited the netsuke, they unlocked a far more dramatic story than he could ever have imagined. From a burgeoning empire in Odessa to fin de siècle Paris, from occupied Vienna to postwar Tokyo, de Waal traces the netsuke's journey through generations of his remarkable family against the backdrop of a tumultuous century. New members welcome! Let a library staff member know if you would like to join one of the book discussion groups.

Evening Book Club
|
The Evening Book Discussion Group will meet at Chesley Memorial Library on Wednesday, August 18, at 7:00 p.m. to discuss “Educated "by Tara Westover.
From Amazon: “Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she’d traveled too far, if there was still a way home.”
