All patrons and friends of the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library are welcome to join Page Turners, the Library’s book discussion group. In April, we will be discussing Dancing Arabs (2002) by acclaimed novelist and screenwriter Sayed Kashua, the coming-of-age story of a Palestinian boy growing up in Israel and especially his journey from the Arab town of Tira to a prestigious and primarily Jewish prep school in Jerusalem. We will follow Dancing Arabs in May with a discussion of Anglo-Palestinian writer Isabella Hammad’s 2024 novel Enter Ghost. And in June, we reach back to Victorian England to read Anne Brontë’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848), a daring novel by the least known of the Brontë sisters.

Page Turners maintains a discussion list through which members receive background information and discussion questions for each book selection. Please contact Sue Lanser (925-6244 or lanser@brandeis.edu) if you would like to learn more about the group or wish to join our mailing list. With occasional exceptions, we meet on the second Monday of each month on Zoom.
