Afternoon Adult Book Club
July 22nd at 3:00 PM via Zoom or in person at the library
Join us this month for a discussion on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Since its immediate success in 1813, Pride and Prejudice has remained one of the most popular novels in the English language. Jane Austen called this brilliant work "her own darling child" and its vivacious heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, "as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print." The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and her proud beau, Mr. Darcy, is a splendid performance of civilized sparring. And Jane Austen's radiant wit sparkles as her characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, making this book the most superb comedy of manners of Regency England. Pre-registration is required if you want to join virtually. If you will be attending in person, no registration required. Just show up! Ages 18+ Click here to register for the 3:00 PM Group via Zoom. |

Evening Adult Book Club
July 22nd at 6:00 PM via Zoom Join us this month for a discussion on The Guest List by Lucy Foley. On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. It’s a wedding for a magazine, or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed.
But perfection is for plans, and people are all too human. As the champagne is popped and the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies begin to mingle with the reminiscences and well wishes. The groomsmen begin the drinking game from their school days. The bridesmaid not-so-accidentally ruins her dress. The bride’s oldest (male) friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast.
And then someone turns up dead. Who didn’t wish the happy couple well? And perhaps more important, why?
This group meets via Zoom only. Pre-registration is required. Ages 18+ Click here to register for the 6:00 PM Group. |
