East Bridgewater Public Library Book Club
The East Bridgewater Adult Book Club meets on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 7:00 p.m. in the Community room. New members are always welcome!
Copies of the February selection, The Paris Express by Emma Donoghue, are available at the Circulation desk.
Based on an 1895 disaster that went down in history when it was captured in a series of surreal, extraordinary photographs, The Paris Express is a propulsive novel set on a train packed with a fascinating cast of characters who hail from as close as Brittany and as far as Russia, Ireland, Algeria, Pennsylvania, and Cambodia. Members of parliament hurry back to Paris to vote; a medical student suspects a girl may be dying; a secretary tries to convince her boss of the potential of moving pictures; two of the train’s crew build a life away from their wives; a young anarchist makes a terrifying plan, and much more.
