Showing and discussion of "Guilty Pleasures"
Every four seconds a romance novel published by Harlequin or its British counterpart, Mills & Boon, is sold somewhere in the world. This film takes an amusing and touching look at this global phenomenon. Inronies abound in the contrasts between the everyday lives of the books' readers and the fantasy worlds that offer them esacpe. Guilty Pleasures portrays five romance devotees who must, ultimately, find their dreams in the real world. Library Director Janis Schoen will lead the discussion after the movie. This event is a collaboration with the award-winning documentary series POV (www.pbs.org/pov).
