We will be discussing the novel, “The Husband’s Secret” by Liane Moriarty at the library, on Monday, Nov. 6th at 5:00pm.
November’s chosen book is “Haven’s Wake” by Ladette Randolph. It is a Nebraska story about love and loyalty, and the restorative power of family and tradition.
Haven, the aptly named patriarch of a rural Mennonite family in eastern Nebraska, dies in a bizarre tractor accident, which reunites his family for several days in July 2009. Disparate and even dysfunctional, the Grebel clan is forced onto the farm’s close quarters where long-ignored secrets and tragedies threaten to surface, despite the desperation of Haven’s widow, Elsa, to keep them buried. Will Elsa finally forgive her son for renouncing the Mennonite religion and lifestyle? Will brothers Jonathan and Jeffrey let a sibling’s horrific but decades-old death tear them further apart? (from Booklist). Stop by the library and get your copy of “Haven’s Wake” to find the answers to these questions and so much more!!
