The next meeting of the Newbury Book Discussion Group is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 5th - 7-8PM at the Tenney Memorial Library. This month we are reading Tayari Jone's award-winning novel, "An American Marriage." From the cover - "Newlyweds Celestial and Roy are the embodiment of both the American Dream and the New South. He is a young executive, and she is an artist on the brink of an exciting career. But as they settle into the routine of their life together, they are ripped apart by circumstances neither could have imagined. Roy is arrested and sentenced to twelve years for a crime Celestial knows he didn't commit....This stirring love story is a profoundly insightful look into the hearts and minds of three people who are at once bound and separated by forces beyond their control. An American Marriage is a masterpiece of storytelling, an intimate look deep into the souls of people who must reckon with the past while moving. forward—with hope and pain—into the future." Copies of the book are available through interlibrary loan at your local library. Please join us in November to enjoy talking about this book together. Don't forget to bring a mask to wear in the library!
