SPRING BOOK CLUB – APRIL 23 2024

We are meeting April 23rd to discuss our next book, Tom Lake by Ann Patchett.

In the spring of 2020, Lara’s three daughters return to the family’s orchard in Northern Michigan. While picking cherries, they beg their mother to tell them the story of Peter Duke, a famous actor with whom she shared both a stage and a romance years before at a theater company called Tom Lake. As Lara recalls the past, her daughters examine their own lives and relationship with their mother, and are forced to reconsider the world and everything they thought they knew.

We’re always looking for suggestions for future book club discussions.  Have something you’re interested in reading?  Let us know via email.  Our next book selections are always chosen at book club by the attendees.
