All patrons and friends of the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library are welcome to join Page Turners, the Library’s book discussion group.  Our September selection is George Saunders’s award-winning novel Lincoln in the Bardo (2017) Experimental in form, the novel is set in the wake of Abraham Lincoln’s tragic loss of his beloved son Willie, but it engages a large cast of characters who are hovering between life and death to explore deep questions about love, loss, and reconciliation. 

 In October we will begin a literary exploration of Russian literature through some short readings by nineteenth-century writers in the age of Pushkin and Lermontov.  Our selection for November and December will be Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina (1878).  If you are joining us to discuss this magnificent novel, the translation by Rosamund Bartlett is an ideal choice.

 Page Turners welcomes new members maintains a discussion list through which members receive background information and discussion questions for each book.  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.
