    We will discuss Susan Vreeland's New York Times 2012 bestselling novel, Clara and Mr. Tiffany.  Clara Driscoll, head of Tiffany's women’s division, conceives of and designs nearly all of the iconic leaded-glass lamps for which Louis Comfort Tiffany will long be remembered.  Never publicly acknowledged, Clara struggles with her desire for artistic recognition and the seemingly insurmountable challenges that she faces as a professional woman.  She also yearns for love and companionship.

    The Thursday Morning Book Group will discuss "Olive, Again" by Elizabeth Strout.  Copies of the book are available at the Library.  All are welcome to join.  

     

    Prickly, wry, resistant to change yet ruthlessly honest and deeply empathetic, Olive Kitteridge is “a compelling life force” (San Francisco Chronicle). The New Yorker has said that Elizabeth Strout “animates the ordinary with an astonishing force,”and she has never done so more clearly than in this book, where the iconic Olive struggles to understand not only herself and her own life but the lives of those around her in the town of Crosby, Maine.  Whether with a teenager coming to terms with the loss of her father, a young woman about to give birth at a hilariously inopportune moment, a nurse who confesses a secret high school crush, or a lawyer who struggles with an inheritance she does not want to accept, the unforgettable Olive will continue to startle us, to move us, and to inspire us - in Strout’s words - “to bear the burden of the mystery with as much grace as we can.”

     American Religious Communities Seek to Establish Civic Entities will feature 3 panelists who examine the Puritan movement, the Huguenots, the Satmar and the Mennonite communities. The aim is to remind or introduce the audience to our American way of offering religious “freedom” tempered by the American legacy social and political order. The audience will better understand the tension between institutional religious practice and the civil order in which those practitioners must operate.
