Virtual Meeting Room

Please join us online via Zoom, once a month, to connect with other readers for a lively book discussion!

In May, we will be reading Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan.

It is 1985, in an Irish town. During the weeks leading up to Christmas, Bill Furlong, a coal and timber merchant, faces his busiest season. As he does the rounds, he feels the past rising up to meet him - and encounters the complicit silences of a small community controlled by the Church. Claire Keegan’s tender tale of hope and quiet heroism is both a celebration of compassion and a stern rebuke of the sins committed in the name of religion.

Print copies of Small Things Like These will be available to check out at the North Edison Branch on reserve for book club members approximately four weeks before this book club meeting. Digital copies may be available to check out via Libby and Hoopla. For more title availability, please visit our online catalog.
