Busy Reader’s Book Club
January 26th – 11am: Library Community Room – 7pm: Online via Zoom
The BRBC is back for the new year, with two ways to come together! Join us at the library in the morning or via Zoom in the evening. It will be a lively discussion either way!
The January pick, Euphoria by Lily King, is inspired by events in the life of Margaret Mead and tells the story of three young anthropologists in 1930s New Guinea. Their three-way relationship is complex and involving, and shows three individuals with three entirely diverse ways of studying another culture. These differences, along with professional jealousy and romantic tension, propel the story toward its inevitable conclusion.
