May 2019 Bookclub News


Dear Bookclub,
Our evening with Sue Meissner to discuss her latest book, "As Bright as Heaven", an historical novel imagining one family's journey through the most catastrophic pandemics ever, is just a few days away. A few days in 1918 could determine fate beyond our imagination as the Great Influenza Pandemic devastated populations worldwide.

To learn more about what made this flu so deadly, please read this short piece from Time about the Spanish Flu:

To prepare for our evening, please check out the Book Club Kit from Sue's website:

Our combined meeting with A Novel Group at Lori's, will include the opportunity to vote on one of her recommendations for that group's upcoming selection, to also be an upcoming selection for our group. Just a thought - it would be fun to share another month through a shared read. So if you like, here are her titles to ponder....

Lori has recommended the following books for choosing an upcoming selection:
"An American Marriage" Tayari Jones
"The Wife Between Us" Sarah Pekkanen
"Circe" Madeline Miller
"My Antonia" Will Cather

Healthy reading,
LK
