ANTRIM ECLECTIC BOOK CLUB
ANTRIM ECLECTIC BOOK CLUB
On Thursday, December 21st between 2:15 p.m. and 3:15 p.m , at the James A. Tuttle Library, Antrim readers will discuss Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale.
“The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France–a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit ...”
Among the questions Book Club members may discuss on the December 21st are:
1. Why would anyone read a novel set in such depressing circumstances?
2. How does Vianne make ethical choices when she is, at the same time, trying to protect her daughter and husband?
3. How do gender roles affect this narrative?
4. Which scenes did you find emotionally charged?
The Antrim Eclectic Book Club meets on the third Thursday each month between 2:15 PM and 3:15 PM at the James A Tuttle library. Free copies of the books described above will be available for loan at the Library. For further information please email Steve Ullman at stephenhullman@gmail. We warmly welcome newcomers to our book lovers’ group.
