Book clubs are a great way to share the joys of reading, as well as keep up with trends on the latest books and broaden one’s tastes – not to mention enjoying the companionship of fellow readers. Spalding’s library book club meets the first Monday of each Month at 5:00pm.
Monday, June 1st– Moloka’i by Alan Brennert
Molaka’i is a haunting story of tragedy in a Pacific paradise. The book opens a window on a world of dazzling beauty, and ugly disease and fear, and the courage of a young woman in the Hawai’i of a hundred years ago. It is a story of romance and humanity, and struggle with the pain of isolation, in a place faraway in time, yet very close in intimacy, vividness, and exact detail, giving us a sense of community and true kinship across time.
