August Discussion Cancelled

Because of vacations our August Book Discussion has been cancelled.  We will be reading Mrs. Mike by Benedict Freedman for the September 19th meeting.  We will discuss The Paris Wife and A Movable Feast together in October.  Please ask to check out our kindle, print, or audio copies of A Paris Wife anytime before October as it is still difficult to get multiple copies through inter-library loan.  Enjoy the rest of the summer and I'll see you in September.....

UPDATE: The Evening Book Discussion group has also been cancelled for August and will resume in September, see the sidebar to the left for details

Goodreads review

People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Great book and great book discussion!  We started off with history of the real Sarajevo Haggadah and I projected pictures from this website:  http://www.haggadah.ba/

Everyone was fascinated with the historical and scientific research involved in producing this book.
