We meet between 7:00 and 9:00 pm on the third Tuesday of
each month in the Boardroom at the
Beddington Theatre Arts Centre.
Our November 17 book will be The Berry Pickers by
Amanda Peters.
“On a hot day in 1960s Maine, six-year-old Joe watches his
little sister Ruthie, sitting on her
favourite rock at the edge of the blueberry fields, while
their family, Mi’kmaq people from Nova
Scotia, pick fruit. That afternoon, Ruthie vanishes without
a trace. As the last person to see her,
Joe will be forever haunted by grief, guilt, and the agony
of imagining how his life could have
been. In an affluent suburb nearby, Norma is growing up as
the only child of unhappy parents. She is smart, precocious, and bursting with
questions she isn’t allowed to ask […]. Norma senses there are things her
parents aren’t telling her, but it will take decades to unravel the secrets
they have kept buried since she was a little girl.” – from Goodreads.com.
We will take a break in December and return on January 19
with Horse by Geraldine Brooks.
