This is our 285th book! We will be reading The Flicker of Old Dreams, by Susan Henderson. There are four copies currently availably in the Contra Costa County Library system.
The plot is summarized as: "Finding fulfillment in her job as an embalmer in her father's small town mortuary, outsider Mary bonds with a villainized local who was blamed for a fatal accident twenty years earlier, a friendship that compels her to consider what might happen if she were to leave their fading community."
A library website review says "An evocative and poignant novel which breaths with a well-developed sense of place. The main character is interesting and unusual (in all the best ways) and her emotional awakening through the story is touching."
We will be meeting on the Fourth Friday, March 22, 2024, at the usual location. Mae will lead the meeting, Sheila will bring the books for April selection.
See you there!!
