The book club at EPOCH Assisted Living on the East Side will discuss “Go Set a Watchman” on Monday, Oct. 26 at 2 p.m. This landmark novel by Harper Lee, set two decades after “To Kill a Mockingbird,” follows the life of Jean Louise Finch. Twenty-six-year-old Jean Louise “Scout” Finch returns home from New York City to visit Atticus, her aging father. Set against the backdrop of the civil rights tensions and political turmoil that were transforming the South, Jean Louise’s homecoming turns bittersweet when she learns disturbing truths about her close-knit family, the town and the people dearest to her. Memories from her childhood flood back, and her values and assumptions are thrown into doubt.
The EPOCH book club launched seven years ago and remains one of the community’s most popular programs; since its inception, the club has read 80 books. Book club meets the fourth Monday of each month and is free and open to the public. Space is limited. For more information or to RSVP, please call 401-275-0682. EPOCH Assisted Living on the East Side is located at One Butler Ave.
