Past Book Reviews
The
Pirate’s Daughter, by Margaret Cezair-Thompson This is a tale about a mother/daughter who live on the island
of Jamaica. Facilitator, Jim O'donnell. May 21, 2008
Water
for Elephants by Sara Gruen Thirteen committed readers of the Afternoon Book Group braved the damp icy weather
to join together at the Library on Wednesday afternoon for a discussion of the novel, Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen led
by Fred Fink. The story of life in a circus during the time of The Great Depression was enthusiastically praised by
the members for its well developed characters and the historical significance of the era. There was mayhem, murder,
love triangles, a close look into the life of circus workers and their trained animals. A depiction of the vagaries of aging
was handled with objectivity and humor. The Discussion Group heartily recommends this book to all Library patrons. Seeing by Jose Saramago was discussed Mar. 12. Facilitator: Al Simenson
Piano Tuner by Daniel Mason was discussed in April. Participants pondered the unexpected
ending. Facilitator: Susan Young
