All patrons and friends of the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library are welcome to join Page Turners, the Library’s book discussion group. On May 1 we will be discussing David Copperfield (1849-50), Charles Dickens’s well-loved novel of a young boy’s coming of age, a novel replete with such memorable characters as Mr. Micawber, Aunt Betsey Trotwood, and Uriah Heep. David Copperfield is widely available online at no cost (Kindle, Project Gutenberg) as well as through the Minerva library system. On Monday, June 12, we take up Barbara Kingsolver’s newest novel, Demon Copperhead, inspired by David Copperfield and set in modern-day Appalachia.

Kingsolver’s novel was selected by the New York Times as one of the five best novels of 2022. Both electronic and print copies are available through Minerva. age Turners maintains a discussion list for our members, at which you can receive advance background information and preparatory discussion questions. Please contact Sue Lanser (925-6244 or lanser@brandeis.edu) if you would like further information about the group or wish to join our mailing list.
