A new monthly book group begins this month! We’re delighted to offer this new free program in partnership with the Grafton Public Library. The library is able to offer copies for borrowing with advance notice, and all participants will be sent a list of questions we’ll use as a guide for our discussions. Although the program is free, we do ask for pre-registration so that we’ll be able to order books and deliver the questions. However, feel free to join us as a walk-in at 6 pm!

Join us for our first discussion of “The Overstory,”  by Richard Powers. A 2019 Fiction Pulitzer Prize Winner, this novel weaves together the stories of nine Americans whose experiences with trees impact their lives and decisions in complex and fascinating ways. A great way to approach a discussion about "The Overstory" is to focus on just one of the characters in-depth, as they move through the book. Think about which character's story is most compelling to you and why. Notice how or if your character changes and how they interact with others in the narrative. Decide if you can understand or relate to your chosen character's decisions and motivations.  It will be a great exercise in our discussion to share our observations about the characters we each select  and learn who might have picked the same character and why!

We look forward to a robust and lively conversation around this wonderful book!

Please Note: If you would like to borrow the book from the library, please be sure to register and let us know before January 29th.
