The next meeting of the Newbury Book Discussion Group is scheduled for Thursday, Sept.1 from 7-8 PM at the Tenney Memorial Library. On the docket for this month is Louise Erdrich's novel, "The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse." From the back cover: "For more than a half century, Father Damien Modeste has served his beloved people, the Ojibwe, on the remote reservation of Little No Horse. Now, nearing the end of his life, Father Damien dreads the discovery of his physical identity, for he is a woman who has lived as a man. To further complicate his quiet existence, a troubled colleague comes to the reservation to investigate the life of the perplexing, possibly false saint Sister Leopolda. Father Damien alone knows the strange truth of Leopolda's piety and is faced with the most difficult decision: Should he tell all and risk everything . . . or manufacture a protective history though he believes Leopolda's wonder-working is motivated solely by evil?" Erdrich is a great storyteller and this book looks like no exception! Pick up a copy through interlibrary loan at your local library and join us in September. Everyone is welcome.
