SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the library for a discussion of August’s book\, Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy. \nSummary: \n“Inti Flynn arrives in Scotland with her twin sister\, Aggie\, to lead a team of biologists tasked with reintroducing fourteen gray wolves into the remote Highlands. She hopes to heal not only the dying landscape\, but Aggie\, too\, unmade by the terrible secrets that drove the sisters out of Alaska. \nInti is not the woman she once was\, either\, changed by the harm she’s witnessed—inflicted by humans on both the wild and each other. Yet as the wolves surprise everyone by thriving\, Inti begins to let her guard down\, even opening herself up to the possibility of love. But when a farmer is found dead\, Inti knows where the town will lay blame. Unable to accept her wolves could be responsible\, Inti makes a reckless decision to protect them. But if the wolves didn’t make the kill\, then who did? And what will Inti do when the man she is falling for seems to be the prime suspect? \nPropulsive and spell-binding\, Charlotte McConaghy’s Once There Were Wolves is the unforgettable story of a woman desperate to save the creatures she loves—if she isn’t consumed by a wild that was once her refuge.” (via goodreads)

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the library for a discussion of July’s book\, Let Us Descend by Jesmyn Ward. \nSummary: \n“‘Let us descend\,’ the poet now began\, ‘and enter this blind world.’” — Inferno\, Dante Alighieri \nLet Us Descend is a reimagining of American slavery\, as beautifully rendered as it is heart-wrenching. Searching\, harrowing\, replete with transcendent love\, the novel is a journey from the rice fields of the Carolinas to the slave markets of New Orleans and into the fearsome heart of a Louisiana sugar plantation. \nAnnis\, sold south by the white enslaver who fathered her\, is the reader’s guide through this hellscape. As she struggles through the miles-long march\, Annis turns inward\, seeking comfort from memories of her mother and stories of her African warrior grandmother. Throughout\, she opens herself to a world beyond this world\, one teeming with of earth and water\, of myth and history; spirits who nurture and give\, and those who manipulate and take. While Ward leads readers through the descent\, this\, her fourth novel\, is ultimately a story of rebirth and reclamation. \nFrom one of the most singularly brilliant and beloved writers of her generation\, this miracle of a novel inscribes Black American grief and joy into the very land—the rich but unforgiving forests\, swamps\, and rivers of the American South. Let Us Descend is Jesmyn Ward’s most magnificent novel yet\, a masterwork for the ages.” (via goodreads)

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Meet us in the library at 6pm for discussion of July’s book\, Olive\, Again by Elizabeth Strout. As part of Summer Reading\, this is the follow-up book to Olive Kitteridge that we read in June. \nSummary: \nPrickly\, wry\, resistant to change yet ruthlessly honest and deeply empathetic\, Olive Kitteridge is “a compelling life force” (San Francisco Chronicle). The New Yorker has said that Elizabeth Strout “animates the ordinary with an astonishing force\,” and she has never done so more clearly than in these pages\, where the iconic Olive struggles to understand not only herself and her own life but the lives of those around her in the town of Crosby\, Maine. Whether with a teenager coming to terms with the loss of her father\, a young woman about to give birth during a hilariously inopportune moment\, a nurse who confesses a secret high school crush\, or a lawyer who struggles with an inheritance she does not want to accept\, the unforgettable Olive will continue to startle us\, to move us\, and to inspire us—in Strout’s words—“to bear the burden of the mystery with as much grace as we can.” (via goodreads)

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the library at 6pm for a discussion of July’s book\, Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout. Head’s up: next month we will read the follow-up\, Olive\, Again. \nSummary: \nWinner of the Pulitzer Prize\, Olive Kitteridge offers profound insights into the human condition – its conflicts\, its tragedies and joys\, and the endurance it requires. \nAt times stern\, at other times patient\, at times perceptive\, at other times in sad denial\, Olive Kitteridge\, a retired schoolteacher\, deplores the changes in her little town of Crosby\, Maine\, and in the world at large\, but she doesn’t always recognize the changes in those around her: a lounge musician haunted by a past romance; a former student who has lost the will to live; Olive’s own adult child\, who feels tyrannized by her irrational sensitivities; and her husband\, Henry\, who finds his loyalty to his marriage both a blessing and a curse. \nAs the townspeople grapple with their problems\, mild and dire\, Olive is brought to a deeper understanding of herself and her life – sometimes painfully\, but always with ruthless honesty.

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of this month’s book We Begin at the End by Chris Whitaker. \nSummary \nWalk has never left the coastal California town where he grew up. He may have become the chief of police\, but he’s still trying to heal the old wound of having given the testimony that sent his best friend\, Vincent King\, to prison decades before. Now\, thirty years later\, Vincent is being released. \nDuchess is a thirteen-year-old self-proclaimed outlaw. Her mother\, Star\, grew up with Walk and Vincent. Walk is in overdrive trying to protect them\, but Vincent and Star seem bent on sliding deeper into self-destruction. Star always burned bright\, but recently that light has dimmed\, leaving Duchess to parent not only her mother but her five-year-old brother. At school the other kids make fun of Duchess―her clothes are torn\, her hair a mess. But let them throw their sticks\, because she’ll throw stones. Rules are for other people. She’s just trying to survive and keep her family together. \nA fortysomething-year-old sheriff and a thirteen-year-old girl may not seem to have a lot in common. But they both have come to expect that people will disappoint you\, loved ones will leave you\, and if you open your heart it will be broken. So when trouble arrives with Vincent King\, Walk and Duchess find they will be unable to do anything but usher it in\, arms wide closed. \nChris Whitaker has written an extraordinary novel about people who deserve so much more than life serves them. At times devastating\, with flashes of humor and hope throughout\, it is ultimately an inspiring tale of how the human spirit prevails and how\, in the end\, love―in all its different guises―wins.
