SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our first book of 2022! We will be discussing Martin Sixsmith’s book Philomena. Then we will watch the movie (it’s been a while since we’ve done that)! Please wear a mask. \n  \nWhen she became pregnant as a teenager in Ireland in 1952\, Philomena Lee was sent to a convent to be looked after as a “fallen woman.” Then the nuns took her baby from her and sold him\, like thousands of others\, to America for adoption. Fifty years later\, Philomena decided to find him. \nMeanwhile\, on the other side of the Atlantic\, Philomena’s son was trying to find her. Renamed Michael Hess\, he had become a leading lawyer in the first Bush administration\, and he struggled to hide secrets that would jeopardize his career in the Republican Party and endanger his quest to find his mother. \nA gripping exposé told with novelistic intrigue\, Philomena pulls back the curtain on the role of the Catholic Church in forced adoptions and on the love between a mother and son who endured a lifelong separation.

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Our Book Club 2021 Challenge is “Reading Colors Your World.” November is Violet!\nJoin us this month in discussing The Game by Laurie King.\nMasking and distancing recommended.  \nIt’s only the second day of 1924\, but Mary Russell and her husband\, Sherlock Holmes\, find themselves embroiled in intrigue. It starts with a New Year’s visit from Holmes’s brother Mycroft\, who comes bearing a strange package containing the papers of an English spy named Kimball O’Hara—the same Kimball known to the world through Kipling’s famed Kim. Inexplicably\, O’Hara withdrew from the “Great Game” of espionage and now he has just as inexplicably disappeared. \nWhen Russell discovers Holmes’s own secret friendship with the spy\, she knows the die is cast: she will accompany her husband to India to search for the missing operative. But Russell soon learns that in this faraway and exotic land\, it’s often impossible to tell friend from foe—and that some games aren’t played for fun but for the highest stakes of all…life and death.

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Our Book Club 2021 Challenge is “Reading Colors Your World.” October is Emerald! \n\n\nJoin us this month in discussing The House Girl by Tara Conklin.\n\nMasking and distancing recommended. \n\nA stunning debut novel of love\, family\, and justice that intertwines the stories of an escaped house slave in 1852 Virginia and ambitious young lawyer in contemporary New York. \nVirginia\, 1852. Seventeen-year-old Josephine Bell decides to run from the failing tobacco farm where she is a slave and nurse to her ailing mistress\, the aspiring artist Lu Anne Bell. \nNew York City\, 2004. Lina Sparrow\, an ambitious first-year associate in an elite law firm\, is given a difficult\, highly sensitive assignment that could make her career: she must find the “perfect plaintiff” to lead a historic class-action lawsuit worth trillions of dollars in reparations for descendants of American slaves. \nIt is through her father\, the renowned artist Oscar Sparrow\, that Lina discovers Josephine Bell and a controversy roiling the art world: are the iconic paintings long ascribed to Lu Anne Bell really the work of her house slave\, Josephine? A descendant of Josephine’s would be the perfect face for the reparations lawsuit – if Lina can find one. While following the runaway girl’s faint trail through old letters and plantation records\, Lina finds herself questioning her own family history and the secrets that her father has never revealed: How did Lina’s mother die? And why will he never speak about her? \nMoving between antebellum Virginia and modern-day New York\, this searing\, suspenseful and heartbreaking tale of art and history\, love and secrets\, explores what it means to repair a wrong and asks whether truth is sometimes more important than justice.

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Our Book Club 2021 Challenge is “Reading Colors Your World.” September is Sand Dollar!\n\n\nJoin us this month in discussing The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce.\n\nMasking and distancing recommended. \n\nMeet Harold Fry\, recently retired. He lives in a small English village with his wife\, Maureen\, who seems irritated by almost everything he does\, even down to how he butters his toast. Little differentiates one day from the next. Then one morning the mail arrives\, and within the stack of quotidian minutiae is a letter addressed to Harold in a shaky scrawl from a woman he hasn’t seen or heard from in twenty years. Queenie Hennessy is in hospice and is writing to say goodbye. \nHarold pens a quick reply and\, leaving Maureen to her chores\, heads to the corner mailbox. But then\, as happens in the very best works of fiction\, Harold has a chance encounter\, one that convinces him that he absolutely must deliver his message to Queenie in person. And thus begins the unlikely pilgrimage. Harold Fry is determined to walk six hundred miles from Kingsbridge to the hospice in Berwick-upon-Tweed because\, he believes\, as long as he walks\, Queenie Hennessey will live. \nStill in his yachting shoes and light coat\, Harold embarks on his urgent quest across the countryside. Along the way he meets one character after another\, each of whom unlocks his long-dormant spirit and sense of promise. Memories of his first dance with Maureen\, his wedding day\, his joy in fatherhood\, come rushing back to him – allowing him to also reconcile the losses and the regrets. As for Maureen\, she finds herself missing Harold for the first time in years. \nAnd then there is the unfinished business with Queenie Hennessy. (via goodreads)
