Join us for a book discussion of The Dollmaker by Harriette Simpson Arnow. The Dollmaker tells the story of a rural Kentucky family that moves to Detroit to take advantage of the factory jobs arising from World War II. The mother, Gertie, struggles to keep her family together and preserve their rural values amidst the turmoil of the industrialized North, as she uses her skill at carving wooden dolls to help support the family. This novel is a powerful and compassionate portrayal of the impact of modern society on one family. Join us if you have read it or come by to pick up one of the extra copies at the Library.
