Description: Join us at the library for the last novel in what has been a unique reading and discussion series. Let's Talk About It: America's Greatest Conflict began on Sept. 8 and concludes on Nov. 3. The final title in the series is Lincoln’s Dreams by Connie Willis. The Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of Doomsday Book presents the story of a young historical researcher, Jeff, who is being pulled deeper and deeper into the time of the Civil War. He meets Annie, an intense and lovely young woman suffering from nightmares; horrible, vivid dreams of the Civil War containing details she couldn't possibly know. The point of view is unmistakably that of defeated Confederate leader Robert E. Lee. Jeff tries to shield Annie from those who would exploit her, but he can't protect her from herself, for she feels duty bound to refight the war if it will finally allow Lee some measure of peace.
The discussion will be led by Bill DiNome, M.F.A.
Registration for the discussions is required and can be done online, by telephone, or in person at any branch.
