Mom's Club Book
Discussion Group

Stay-at-home and part time
moms, this book discussion group is for you. Take this chance to get out of
the house and meet other moms in the area. Feel free to bring the kids, too!
Toys will be set up for children in the back of the room while the book
discussion takes place. At every session we hold a book grab bag - bring a
paper back you’ve already read and draw another one. You’ll go home with a
"new" book to read!
On Monday, Aug. 16 at 10 a.m., the group will discuss
People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks. In 1996, Hanna Heath, an
Australian rare-book expert, is offered the job of a lifetime: analysis and
conservation of the famed Sarajevo Haggadah, which has been rescued from
Serb shelling during the Bosnian war. Priceless and beautiful, the book is
one of the earliest Jewish volumes ever to be illuminated with images. The
reader is ushered into an exquisitely detailed and atmospheric past, tracing
the book’s journey from its salvation back to its creation.
Books are available for check-out for group members. If you
are interested, or for more information, call (586) 446-2669.
Registration is not
required. |
