SUMMARY:Tuesday Night Book Club: The Frozen River
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon\, a gripping historical mystery inspired by the real life of 18th-century midwife Martha Ballard. Set in Maine in 1789\, the novel begins when a man is discovered frozen in the Kennebec River and Martha is called upon to determine the cause of death. A respected healer and keen observer of her community\, Martha keeps a detailed diary that soon entangles her in a web of secrets\, accusations\, and injustice\, particularly when her findings contradict those of a powerful local physician. As suspicion deepens and a trial approaches\, Martha pursues the truth despite growing personal risk. Richly researched and vividly told\, the novel brings to life a courageous woman who defied social conventions to seek justice in a world determined to silence her. Copies are available at the first-floor circulation desk. New members are always welcome!

SUMMARY:Exhibitionists Book Club: St. Lucy's Home for Girl's Raised by Wolves
DESCRIPTION:When Karen Russel’s debut short story collection fell onto our collective psyches in 2006\, it made some lasting alterations to the landscape of literature. A singularly weird and raucous vision. Come with us as we check in on it on its twentieth anniversary and reflect with it in conjunction with Shelburne Museum’s exhibit of On Point: Needlework from the Garthwaite Family Collection. This book/exhibit discussion will take place at the Pierson Library and be facilitated by Shelburne Museum’s Kat Redniss. And mark your calendars for June 4th\, when Kat will lead the Exhibitionists on a creative response at our partner’s library in Charlotte. Copies available at the first-floor circulation desk.
