SUMMARY:Book Group - David Copperfield by Charles Dickens and/or Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver.
DESCRIPTION:Sept 12 at 4:00  David Copperfield by Charles Dickens and/or Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. \n  \nDavid Copperfield from Goodreads: \nDavid Copperfield is the story of a young man’s adventures on his journey from an unhappy and impoverished childhood to the discovery of his vocation as a successful novelist. Among the gloriously vivid cast of characters he encounters are his tyrannical stepfather\, Mr Murdstone; his brilliant\, but ultimately unworthy school-friend James Steerforth; his formidable aunt\, Betsey Trotwood; the eternally humble\, yet treacherous Uriah Heep; frivolous\, enchanting Dora Spenlow; and the magnificently impecunious Wilkins Micawber\, one of literature’s great comic creations. In David Copperfield – the novel he described as his ‘favourite child’ – Dickens drew revealingly on his own experiences to create one of the most exuberant and enduringly popular works\, filled with tragedy and comedy in equal measure. This edition uses the text of the first volume publication of 1850\, and includes updated suggestions for further reading\, original illustrations by ‘Phiz’\, a revised chronology and expanded notes. In his new introduction\, Jeremy Tambling discusses the novel’s autobiographical elements\, and its central themes of memory and identity. \n  \nDemon Copperfield from Goodreads: \nSet in the mountains of southern Appalachia\, this is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer\, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair\, a caustic wit\, and a fierce talent for survival. In a plot that never pauses for breath\, relayed in his own unsparing voice\, he braves the modern perils of foster care\, child labor\, derelict schools\, athletic success\, addiction\, disastrous loves\, and crushing losses. Through all of it\, he reckons with his own invisibility in a popular culture where even the superheroes have abandoned rural people in favor of cities. \nMany generations ago\, Charles Dickens wrote David Copperfield from his experience as a survivor of institutional poverty and its damages to children in his society. Those problems have yet to be solved in ours. Dickens is not a prerequisite for readers of this novel\, but he provided its inspiration. In transposing a Victorian epic novel to the contemporary American South\, Barbara Kingsolver enlists Dickens’ anger and compassion\, and above all\, his faith in the transformative powers of a good story. Demon Copperhead speaks for a new generation of lost boys\, and all those born into beautiful\, cursed places they can’t imagine leaving behind.

SUMMARY:Book Group - Lessons in Chemistry by Barbara Garmus
DESCRIPTION:July 11 at 4:00 Lessons in Chemistry by Barbara Garmus \nFrom Goodreads: \nChemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact\, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely\, brilliant\, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results. \nBut like science\, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother\, but the reluctant star of America’s most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth’s unusual approach to cooking (“combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride”) proves revolutionary. But as her following grows\, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out\, Elizabeth Zott isn’t just teaching women to cook. She’s daring them to change the status quo. \nLaugh-out-loud funny\, shrewdly observant\, and studded with a dazzling cast of supporting characters\, Lessons in Chemistry is as original and vibrant as its protagonist.

SUMMARY:Book Group - Gilded Mountain by Kate Manning
DESCRIPTION:June 13\, at 4:00: Gilded Mountain by Kate Manning\n“This “stellar read” ( Los Angeles Times ) is an exhilarating tale of an unforgettable young woman who bravely exposes the corruption that enriched her father’s employers in early 1900s Colorado. \nIn a voice infused with sly humor\, Sylvie Pelletier recounts leaving her family’s snowbound mountain cabin to work in a manor house for the Padgetts\, owners of the marble-mining company that employs her father and dominates the town. Sharp-eyed Sylvie is awed by the luxury around her; fascinated by her employer\, the charming “Countess” Inge\, and confused by the erratic affections of Jasper\, the bookish heir to the family fortune. Her fairy-tale ideas take a dark turn when she realizes the Padgetts’ lofty philosophical talk is at odds with the unfair labor practices that have enriched them. Their servants\, the Gradys\, formerly enslaved people\, have long known this to be true and are making plans to form a utopian community on the Colorado prairie. \nOutside the manor walls\, the town of Moonstone is roiling with discontent. A handsome union organizer\, along with labor leader Mary Harris “Mother” Jones\, is stirring up the quarry workers. The editor of the local newspaper—a bold woman who takes Sylvie on as an apprentice—is publishing unflattering accounts of the Padgett Company. Sylvie navigates vastly different worlds and struggles to find her way amid conflicting loyalties. When the harsh winter brings tragedy\, Sylvie decides to act. \nDrawn from true stories of Colorado history\, Gilded Mountain is a tale of a bygone American West seized by robber barons and settled by immigrants\, and is a story imbued with longing—for self-expression and equality\, freedom and adventure.” Goodreads\nhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60321424-gilded-mountain?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_1

SUMMARY:Book Group - The Last Green Valley by Mark T. Sullivan
DESCRIPTION:“A historical novel inspired by one family’s incredible story of daring\, survival\, and triumph. In late March 1944\, as Stalin’s forces push into Ukraine\, young Emil and Adeline Martel must make a terrible decision: Do they wait for the Soviet bear’s intrusion and risk being sent to Siberia? Or do they reluctantly follow the wolves—murderous Nazi officers who have pledged to protect “pure-blood” Germans? Caught between two warring forces and overcoming horrific trials to pursue their hope of immigrating to the West\, the Martels’ story is a brutal\, complex\, and ultimately triumphant tale that illuminates the extraordinary power of love\, faith\, and one family’s incredible will to survive and see their dreams realized.” \nGoodreads. \nhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54362408-the-last-green-valley?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=J82r6JCFBr&rank=1
