The next meeting of the Newbury Discussion Group will be Thursday, July 6th from 7 to 8PM at the Tenney Memorial Library in Newbury. In a total about-face from our selection last month, we are delving into the often distressing realities of modern life via Claire Keegan's haunting collection of short stories, "Walk the Blue Fields." A reviewer on Goodreads comments:
"…this is a must-read for short-story lovers and if you're interested in rural Ireland, that's a bonus. The writing is elegant, well-crafted, subtle yet expansive. There is so much to these stories that while they can be enjoyed once in satisfaction, they need to be reread to be savored."
Copies of the book are available through interlibrary loan at your local library. Everyone is invited to join our group. Also - FYI - if you'd like to get a head start on our selection for August (3rd) we will be reading "The Beekeeper of Aleppo" by Christy Lefteri.
