SUMMARY:The Genre Jumpers Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Our second adult book club\, The Genre Jumpers\, meets on the first Tuesday of the month at 6pm. We read and discuss the same book\, we read 3 months of one genre then JUMP to the next. This book club is currently full\, but you may be added to the wait list in the event of a participant dropping out. \n  \nNOTE: JULY & NOVEMBER’s MEETINGS ARE MOVED THE WEDNESDAYS AFTER THE TUESDAY IT SHOULD BE! \n  \nFor this month we are discussing our 3rd of 3 Historical Fiction: Loving Frank by Nancy Horan. \n“I have been standing on the side of life\, watching it float by. I want to swim in the river. I want to feel the current. \nSo writes Mamah Borthwick Cheney in her diary as she struggles to justify her clandestine love affair with Frank Lloyd Wright. Four years earlier\, in 1903\, Mamah and her husband\, Edwin\, had commissioned the renowned architect to design a new home for them. During the construction of the house\, a powerful attraction developed between Mamah and Frank\, and in time the lovers\, each married with children\, embarked on a course that would shock Chicago society and forever change their lives. \nIn this ambitious debut novel\, fact and fiction blend together brilliantly. While scholars have largely relegated Mamah to a footnote in the life of America’s greatest architect\, author Nancy Horan gives full weight to their dramatic love story and illuminates Cheney’s profound influence on Wright. \nDrawing on years of research\, Horan weaves little-known facts into a compelling narrative\, vividly portraying the conflicts and struggles of a woman forced to choose between the roles of mother\, wife\, lover\, and intellectual. Horan’s Mamah is a woman seeking to find her own place\, her own creative calling in the world. Mamah’s is an unforgettable journey marked by choices that reshape her notions of love and responsibility\, leading inexorably ultimately lead to this novel’s stunning conclusion. \nElegantly written and remarkably rich in detail\, Loving Frank is a fitting tribute to a courageous woman\, a national icon\, and their timeless love story.” \n

SUMMARY:The Genre Jumpers Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Our second adult book club\, The Genre Jumpers\, meets on the first Tuesday of the month at 6pm. We read and discuss the same book\, we read 3 months of one genre then JUMP to the next. This book club is currently full\, but you may be added to the wait list in the event of a participant dropping out. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nFor this month we are discussing our 2nd of 3 Historical Fiction: The Paris Wife by Paula McLain. \n“Chicago\, 1920: Hadley Richardson is a quiet twenty-eight-year-old who has all but given up on love and happiness—until she meets Ernest Hemingway and her life changes forever. Following a whirlwind courtship and wedding\, the pair set sail for Paris\, where they become the golden couple in a lively and volatile group—the fabled “Lost Generation”—that includes Gertrude Stein\, Ezra Pound\, and F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. \nThough deeply in love\, the Hemingways are ill prepared for the hard-drinking and fast-living life of Jazz Age Paris\, which hardly values traditional notions of family and monogamy. Surrounded by beautiful women and competing egos\, Ernest struggles to find the voice that will earn him a place in history\, pouring all the richness and intensity of his life with Hadley and their circle of friends into the novel that will become The Sun Also Rises. Hadley\, meanwhile\, strives to hold on to her sense of self as the demands of life with Ernest grow costly and her roles as wife\, friend\, and muse become more challenging. Despite their extraordinary bond\, they eventually find themselves facing the ultimate crisis of their marriage—a deception that will lead to the unraveling of everything they’ve fought so hard for. \nA heartbreaking portrayal of love and torn loyalty\, The Paris Wife is all the more poignant because we know that\, in the end\, Hemingway wrote that he would rather have died than fallen in love with anyone but Hadley.” \n

This book club is currently full\, but you may be added to the wait list in the event of a participant dropping out. \n  \n  \n  \nFor this meeting we are discussing our first of 3 Historical Fiction: The Four Winds by Kristen Hannah.  \n“Texas\, 1934. Millions are out of work and a drought has broken the Great Plains. Farmers are fighting to keep their land and their livelihoods as the crops are failing\, the water is drying up\, and dust threatens to bury them all. One of the darkest periods of the Great Depression\, the Dust Bowl era\, has arrived with a vengeance. \nIn this uncertain and dangerous time\, Elsa Martinelli—like so many of her neighbors—must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or go west\, to California\, in search of a better life. The Four Winds is an indelible portrait of America and the American Dream\, as seen through the eyes of one indomitable woman whose courage and sacrifice will come to define a generation.” \n

SUMMARY:The Genre Jumpers Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Our second adult book club\, The Genre Jumpers\, meets on the first Tuesday of the month at 6pm. We read and discuss the same book\, we read 3 months of one genre then JUMP to the next. This book club is currently full\, but you may be added to the wait list in the event of a participant dropping out. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThis meeting we are discussing our last of 3 Contemporary Fiction: Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. \n“In nineteen minutes\, you can mow the front lawn\, color your hair\, watch a third of a hockey game. In nineteen minutes\, you can bake scones or get a tooth filled by a dentist; you can fold laundry for a family of five….In nineteen minutes\, you can stop the world\, or you can just jump off it. In nineteen minutes\, you can get revenge. \nSterling is a small\, ordinary New Hampshire town where nothing ever happens — until the day its complacency is shattered by a shocking act of violence. In the aftermath\, the town’s residents must not only seek justice in order to begin healing but also come to terms with the role they played in the tragedy. For them\, the lines between truth and fiction\, right and wrong\, insider and outsider have been obscured forever. Josie Cormier\, the teenage daughter of the judge sitting on the case\, could be the state’s best witness\, but she can’t remember what happened in front of her own eyes. And as the trial progresses\, fault lines between the high school and the adult community begin to show\, destroying the closest of friendships and families. \nNineteen Minutes is New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult’s most raw\, honest\, and important novel yet. Told with the straightforward style for which she has become known\, it asks simple questions that have no easy answers: Can your own child become a mystery to you? What does it mean to be different in our society? Is it ever okay for a victim to strike back? And who — if anyone — has the right to judge someone else?”
