East Bridgewater Public Library Book Club
The East Bridgewater Adult Book Club meets on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 7:30 p.m. in the Community room. New members are always welcome!
Copies of the November selection, My Name is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Strout, are available at the Circulation desk.
Lucy Barton is recovering slowly from what should have been a simple operation. Her mother, to whom she hasn’t spoken for many years, comes to see her. Gentle gossip about people from Lucy’s childhood in Amgash, Illinois, seems to reconnect them, but just below the surface lie the tension and longing that have informed every aspect of Lucy’s life: her escape from her troubled family, her desire to become a writer, her marriage, her love for her two daughters. Knitting this powerful narrative together is the brilliant storytelling voice of Lucy herself: keenly observant, deeply human, and truly unforgettable.
The December book club selection is Winter Street by Elin Hilderbrand
