Book Club: HOW TO READ A BOOK [by Monica Wood]
August 13 @ 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Fiction — Violet Powell is being released from prison after serving twenty-two months for a drunk-driving crash. Harriet Larson, a retired English teacher who runs the prison book club, is facing the unsettling prospect of an empty nest. Frank Daigle, a retired machinist, hasn’t yet come to grips with the complications of his marriage to the woman Violet killed. When the three encounter each other one morning in a bookstore in Portland—Violet to buy the novel she was reading in
the prison book club before her release, Harriet to choose the next title for the women who remain, and Frank to dispatch his duties as the store handyman—their lives begin to intersect in transformative ways. – Amazon. Lucy McArtor, Vickie Utke
