Thursday Morning Book Club "The Widower's Tale" by Julia Glass

Seventy-year-old Percy Darling is settling happily into retirement: reading novels, watching old movies, and swimming naked in his pond.

Percy’scrural refuge is overrun when he allows a local preschool to appropriate his barn. With equal parts affection and humor, Julia Glass spins a captivating tale of a man who can no longer remain aloof from his community, his grown daughters, or—to his great shock—the precarious joy of falling in love.

The club meets the third Thursday of each month (unless otherwise noted) and welcome new members. Books are available at the Circulation Desk.
