All patrons and friends of the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library are welcome to join the Page Turners, the Library’s afternoon book discussion group.  For the time being, we are again meeting entirely online.

Our selection for September is Charles Dickens’s Barnaby Rudge: A Tale of the Riots of Eighty (1841), widely available through Minerva, for purchase, or for free reading online.  With his characteristic complexity of plot and panoply of characters from different social classes, Dickens takes us from the countryside--and an unsolved murder--into eighteenth-century London on the occasion of the infamous anti-Catholic “Gordon Riots” of 1780. 

In October, we will discuss Paule Marshall’s acclaimed novel Priasesong for the Widow (1983), which chronicles an African-American woman’s transformative journey to the Caribbean.

If you would like further information about the Page Turners or wish to attend the September meeting, please contact Sue Lanser at lanser@brandeis.edu or 925-6244.
