Description

The official book club of Madison Books! Madison Books hosts an in-person Book Club meeting every month at 7:00 p.m., usually but not always on the first Wednesday. All readers are welcome--there's no registration to sign or dues to pay. Drop in to chat with your neighbors about some of the best books of this or any moment. Meetings are currently held at Fox Ridge Studio, adjacent to the bookstore. November's selection is Beneficence by Meredith Hall, praised by author Dani Shapiro as "a modern American masterpiece" and by author Simon Van Booy as "one of the best books I've ever read." Written by a masterful storyteller, this is a book that illuminates the journey we make through grief to healing. In the midst of a nearly perfect life, Doris Senter is thankful but wary. "We can't ever know what will come," she says. When an unimaginable tragedy turns the family of five into a family of four, everything the Senters held faith in is shattered. The family is consumed by sorrow and guilt. Slowly, the surviving family members find their way to forgiveness--of themselves and of each other.
