It’s time to begin a new season of great books with Thomas Ford Library’s Book Discussion Group! Anyone who enjoys reading and discussing books is welcome. Come join us for fun conversations on the first Wednesday of the month, October through May (except January).
Remarkable Creatures by Tracy Chevalier. Tracy Chevalier has again taken fascinating historic characters and events and woven them into a fictionalized tale, this time immersing readers in the world of 19th Century English fossil hunters Mary Anning and Elizabeth Philpot. Anning made major contributions to scientific thinking of the time, but was excluded from the scientific community because of her gender and class. Chevalier deftly explores the women’s friendship and their struggles for recognition.
Book reviews and other information concerning upcoming books are available at the Reference Desk. The books are available at the Library approximately one month before the discussion.
