A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted. You should live several lives while reading it (William Styron)  2013 Reading Across Rhode Island Selection Reading Across Rhode Island, the state-wide community read, kicks off its 11th year with, The Beauty of Humanity Movement by Camilla Gibb. The Beauty of Humanity Movement gives a glimpse of the history and culture of Vietnamese people by weaving together the stories of a venerable soup seller, Vietnamese American curator and young tour guide. The book moves skillfully between the 1950's, when the Communist regime was becoming increasingly more oppressive, to the current Day.  A deeply moving and masterfully written story of human resilience and enduring love, The Plum Treefollows a young German woman through the chaos of World War II and its aftermath. "In The Plum Tree, Ellen Marie Wiseman boldly explores the complexities of the Holocaust. This novel is at times painful, but it is also a satisfying love story set against the backdrop of one of the most difficult times in human history."-T. Greenwood, author of Two Rivers  A deeply evocative story of ambition and betrayal, The Paris Wifecaptures a remarkable period of time and a love affair between two unforgettable people: Ernest Hemingway and his wife Hadley.
