April’s Wise Women Read Meeting
On Tuesday, April 14, at the Wise Women Read Book Club (meeting at the new time of 5:30pm) at Blue House Books, 5915 6th Ave A, we're going back to the Elizabethan era with Maggie O'Farrell's Hamnet.
England, 1580: The Black Death creeps across the land, an ever-present threat, infecting the healthy, the sick, the old and the young alike. The end of days is near, but life always goes on.
A young Latin tutor—penniless and bullied by a violent father—falls in love with an extraordinary, eccentric young woman. Agnes is a wild creature who walks her family’s land with a falcon on her glove and is known throughout the countryside for her unusual gifts as a healer, understanding plants and potions better than she does people. Once she settles with her husband on Henley Street in Stratford-upon-Avon, she becomes a fiercely protective mother and a steadfast, centrifugal force in the life of her young husband, whose career on the London stage is just taking off when his beloved young son succumbs to sudden fever.
Hamnet is mesmerizing, seductive, impossible to put down—a magnificent leap forward from one of our most gifted novelists.
The May 12 book discussion will be on Tom Lake, the 2023 novel by Ann Patchett.
Just in time for Mother’s Day, Tom Lake is about a mother, Lara, who tells her three daughters the story of her youthful romance with a famous actor during a summer at a theater company called Tom Lake, all while they are stuck at their family’s Michigan cherry orchard during the COVID-19 pandemic. The narrative weaves together the past and present, exploring themes of love, family, memory, and the different lives parents lead before their children are born, set against the backdrop of a cherry harvest and a retelling of Thornton Wilder’s Our Town.
Bring your friends (book club members need not be KWN members), and join the Wise Women Read Book Club EVERY month or just when the book sounds good to you! Either way, you’ll be glad you did!
