 For the month of February, the book club will join Holliston in One Book, One Holliston 2012. We will be reading The Widow’s War by Sally Gunning. See an excerpt below: Married for twenty years to Edward Berry, Lyddie is used to the trials of being a whaler's wife in the Cape Cod village of Satucket, Massachusetts—running their house herself during her husband's long absences at sea, living with the daily uncertainty that Edward will simply not return. And when her worst fear is realized, she finds herself doubly cursed. She is overwhelmed by grief, and her property and rights are now legally in the hands of her nearest male relative, her daughter's overbearing husband, whom Lyddie cannot abide. Lyddie decides to challenge both law and custom for control of her destiny, but she soon discovers the price of her bold "war" for personal freedom to be heartbreakingly dear.We are still looking for someone to host. If you are willing to host, please contact me at Doriane@MAhome.com. An email will be going out very soon to the group with the location and date of the Book Club Meeting. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thank you!!!Also, we still don’t have anyone who is officially in charge of the group, so we are just flying by the seat of our pants and looking for volunteers! You can reach out to Dorianne@MAhome.com for any questions.If you are interested in this activity and are not a member of Newcomers please see the Membership section for information on becoming a member. |
