We'll be reading and discussing The Words We Whisper, by Mary Ellen Taylor. Copies of the book are available at the SDCL for a 7-day checkout and only available to club members until after the December meeting.
"As a hospice nurse, Zara Mitchell has already seen more death than most people will experience in a lifetime. So when her older sister asks her to help care for their ailing grandmother, Zara agrees—despite strained family relationships.
Though pale and tired, Nonna has lost none of her sharp mind. She’s fixated on finding something long forgotten, and she immediately puts Zara to work cleaning out the attic. Unexpectedly, amid the tedium of sifting through knickknacks and heirlooms, Zara also reconnects with a man she’s attracted to but whose complicated past makes romance seem impossible.
But then Zara finds what Nonna was looking for: a wooden chest, an emerald broach, a leather-bound journal. As she immerses herself in stories of heroism and loss set against the backdrop of war-torn Italy in 1943, Zara finds answers to questions she didn’t know she had. And they change everything she thinks she knows about love, regret, and seizing the day."
The SDCL Turn the Page Club is a group for adult readers. That's about it:) We love to get together and discuss great books. What kind of books do we read? You name it, we read it - anything from Historic Fiction to Thrillers to Teen Dystopian novels. It's a great way to break a reading rut and explore new genres.
By getting together like this, we foster a love of reading and expand on reading comprehension. This is intended to be a safe space and negative comments and actions will not be tolerated. Come join the fun!
