FEBRUARY BOOK CLUB: Wuthering Heights
Join us at the Library Wednesday, February 28th, 2024 at 5:30 pm. The chosen book is Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronté and MaryBeth will facilitate.
At the centre of this novel is the passionate love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff – recounted with such emotional intensity that a plain tale of the Yorkshire moors acquires the depth and simplicity of ancient tragedy.
Feel free to BYOBeverage and a snack to share if you like.
How to become a Fishers Island Library Book Club member?
We convene our Book Club on the 4th Wednesday of each month whenever possible. Contact Abby McCall or Ann Banks, or just come to a meeting, and you will be added to the contact list. Easy!
Please invite friends who might also be interested. The more readers the better and so many people are unable to join on any given night that I don’t think we can have too many people. There are lots of book lovers on the island and it’s really nice to bring the group together. All are welcome.
Book Club members generally select the book for the following month(s) at a preceding meeting. The volunteers below have offered to suggest books, one to two months ahead to read in these months. (For example, at the February 2024 meeting the books for April and perhaps May will be presented and then the group will choose.) If you would like to help pick a book for a month, please contact Abby McCall. Other book recommendations are always welcome.
