While we may not be able to meet in person right now, book clubs
are still a great way to connect socially and stay engaged!
After you have read this month's choice, join us for a great
discussion. Each month we will read a new title from a variety of genres and
authors. New members are always welcome.
Registration required.
In April, we will be discussing Indians on
vacation by Thomas King. This title is
available as an ebook or eaudiobook from DownloadLibrary
Meet Bird and Mimi in this brilliant
new novel from one of Canada's foremost authors. Inspired by a handful of old
postcards sent by Uncle Leroy nearly a hundred years earlier, Bird and Mimi
attempt to trace Mimi's long-lost uncle and the family medicine bundle he took
with him to Europe.
"I'm sweaty and sticky. My ears
are still popping from the descent into Vaclav Havel. My sinuses ache. My
stomach is upset. My mouth is a sewer. I roll over and bury my face in a
pillow. Mimi snuggles down beside me with no regard for my distress.
'My god,' she whispers, 'can it get any
better?'"
By turns witty, sly and poignant, this
is the unforgettable tale of one couple's holiday trip to Europe, where their
wanderings through its famous capitals reveal a complicated history, both
personal and political.
