Newbury Book Discussion Group

Past event
Oct 6, 2016, 7 to 8 PM

The next meeting of the Newbury Book Discussion Group is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 6 at 7 PM at the Tenney Memorial Library. This month we are reading "The Winter People" by Jennifer McMahon. "Sara Harrison Shea’s precious daughter, Gertie, dies in 1908 during a harsh and unforgiving winter in which her mother and father, Martin, struggle to keep food on the table. Gertie isn’t the first child Sara has lost, but her death is the one she has the most difficult time accepting. When she refuses to believe that Gertie is gone forever and blames Martin for her loss, Sara sets in motion a tragic and horrifying chain of events that will forever change the lives of everyone around them." (Kirkuk Reviews). Set in Vermont and written by a local author, this book should make for an interesting discussion! You can order a copy through interlibrary loan from your local library and then join us on the 6th!
