Adult Book Discussion
Next meeting: Friday, January 17th at 7:30 p.m. in the library
3rd Friday of the month
Birnam Wood
by Eleanor Catton
Discussion led by Diana Bristol
Copies available at the library
A gripping psychological thriller from the Booker Prize–winning author of The Luminaries, Eleanor Catton’s Birnam Wood is Shakespearean in its drama, Austenian in its wit, and, like both influences, fascinated by what makes us who we are. Birnam Wood is set near a fictional national park on the South Island of New Zealand where a group of young activists named after the forest in Macbeth make a deal with an American tech mogul who appears to have purchased the land on which they mean to guerrilla garden. His stated goal is to create a bunker to survive coming natural disasters and he surprises them by offering funding. The book rotates through different points of view, revealing that each character has an ulterior, nefarious motive. Betrayals and revelations about the reality of the situation build toward an apocalyptic, fiery ending.The library orders multiple copies for the book discussion. Join us and become part of a special evening.
Classic Book Discussion
Next meeting: Friday, January 3rd at 11 am in the library

A High Wind in Jamaica by Richard Hughes
Led By Suzanne Ashley
Copies available at the library
Several children were seized by pirates on a voyage from Jamaica to England in the 1800’s. The story begins as an adventure which develops into a darker tale as the author explores what might happen if a group of pirates were suddenly sailing with children who possess a naïve lack of morality.
