Ladies and gentlemen, please join us for our June Book Discussions! These discussions are open to the public, and you don't need to register in advance. Just read the book and come prepared to meet new people and take part in a lively discussion.
Our evening book club is reading The Housekeeper and the Professor by Yoko Ogawa. He is a brilliant math professor with a peculiar problem: Ever since a traumatic head injury, he has lived with only eighty minutes of short-term memory. She is an astute young housekeeper, with a ten-year-old son, who is hired to care for him. And every morning, as the professor and the housekeeper are introduced to each other anew, a strange and beautiful relationship blossoms between them. The Professor is capable of discovering connections between the simplest of quantities--like the Housekeeper’s shoe size--and the universe at large, drawing their lives ever closer and more profoundly together, even as his memory slips away.
The evening book club meets on Wednesday, June 20 at 6:30 p.m. in the Board Room.
Our morning book club will read
Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout. This collection of interconnected short stories takes place in a small Maine town. They tell us the story of a retired schoolteacher named Olive who deplores the changes in her town and in the world at large, but doesn’t always recognize the changes in those around her.
The morning book club meets on Tuesday, June 26 at 10:00 a.m. in the Fall Room.
