Book Group
| |  Our Book Group meets on third Wednesdays at 7:30 in the Clara Barton Room. Members and visitors are invited to join us in lively discussions.
The selection for Wednesday, April 17 is Jeffrey Eugenides' The Marriage Plot. "Moody spiritual seeker Mitchell Grammaticus is besotted with English literature loving Madeleine, who's just as besotted with brilliant, unstable Leonard. A standard love triangle? No, it's an extraordinary, liquidly written evocation of love's mad rush and the mistakes made in its name. Few books so effectively capture the territory lying beyond coming-of-age but before middle-age angst sets in." Library Journal.
