Hamnet and Judith

In imagining Shakespeare's family life, Maggie O'Farrell made the distant past relatable to modern readers. Too bad the book was in such demand during the pandemic that not all of us were able to get a copy before last night's meeting. You may want to come back to it when time allows. 

We have books, dates and times worked out for the next few months: 

  • Someone by Alice McDermott on Wednesday, January 13th at 2 pm 
  • The Pull of the Stars by Emma Donoghue on Wednesday, Febrary 17th at 2 pm 
  • Five Wives by Joan Thomas on Wednesday, March 17th (time TBA) 
  • Olive, Again by Elizabeth Strout on Wednesday, April 14th (time TBA) 

There was mention of ordering glasses online through Zenni Optical.  It may be something to consider as other options close down in the pandemic.

What to watch:
