The Not-Too-Stuffy Book Group will meet at the Senior Center, 49 Pleasant Street, on Thursday, January 19 at 1:00 p.m. to discuss The Rebellion of Jane Clarke by Sally Gunning. The discussion will be led by Barbara Currie.
In Cape Cod, Jane Clarke leads a simple yet rich life. But at twenty-two, Jane knows that soon she will be expected to move out of her father's home and start a household of her own. When a bitter feud between her father and a fellow miller erupts into a shocking act of violence, Jane's trust is shaken. And when Jane rejects a marriage with the young man Jane's father has chosen for her, she is sent to Boston to care for a spinster aunt. On the eve of the Revolutionary War, she is caught between tradition and independence, family and conscience, loyalty and love. Grippingly rendered, The Rebellion of Jane Clarke is a compelling story of one woman's struggle to find her own place and leave her own mark on a new country as it is born.
Copies of this book are available at the Reading Public Library and at the Senior Center. All adults are welcome to attend this program, and no registration is necessary.
