Monthly Book Discussion: A Country Doctor by Sarah Orne Jewitt.

The last in our 4-part series of book discussion themed "Yankee Stories".

This month's book is A Country Doctor by Sarah Orne Jewitt. Jewett's first novel is a luminous portrayal of rural Maine and a semiautobiographical look at her world. In it, a young woman struggles to choose between marriage and
a career as a doctor, between the confining life of a small town and a self-directed one as a professional. Read the book then join us for a lively discussion and light refreshments.

Extra copies of the book are available at the Circulation Desk during the 4 weeks prior to this date.
