Book Clubs
Time to rejuvenate our Book Clubs in January

Date TBD - The Tale of Genji Book Group- Seminar led by Jennifer Gurley, former professor and owner of
Rockingham Roasters

Any interest in discussing Burntown by Jennifer McMahon that we have had to reschedule several times?  This was for an evening Book Club - Should we change to a daytime book club for winter?

Another great book for a book club is The Great Alone
The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah that has FINALLY come out in paperback. St martin's Griffin $17.99 EX-POW vet with PTSD and nightmares tries to adjust to life in the states with his wife and daughter. Hearing that he has inherited a homestead in Alaska from a fellow POW, they head up there to start their life anew. The harsh realities of living in off-the-grid Alaska in the 1970's and the natural beauty and comraderie of fellow settlers are wonderfully addressed.  Could not put it down and "almost finished" in one sitting...

Themes: post-Vietnam, Survivalist, Back to the Land, Coming of Age, domestic violence, women's rights, Romeo & Juliet
