Readers Cafe Book Discussion
Wednesday, November 18th 1:30pm AND Saturday, November 21st 9am
*NEW Saturday has a virtual option*
This month we discuss How to Read a Book by Monica Wood.
Violet Powell, a twenty-two-year-old from rural Abbott Falls, Maine, is being released from prison after serving twenty-two months for a drunk-driving crash that killed a local kindergarten teacher. Harriet Larson, a retired English teacher who runs the prison book club, is facing the unsettling prospect of an empty nest. Frank Daigle, a retired machinist, hasn’t yet come to grips with the complications of his marriage to the woman Violet killed.
When the three encounter each other one morning in a bookstore in Portland, their lives begin to intersect in transformative ways. A wonderful novel about second chances and found family.
