This meeting will be in-person at ZLAC. You may bring your own dinner or snack. BYOB.
The book club includes a rating system.
We think it’s fun to know what our ZLAC community thinks of a book! The system is from 1 to 5, with 2.5 being that you would recommend the book with some hesitation. Anything between 2.5 to 5 is how much you liked it. And anything below 2.5 is how much you hated it.
Don't be shy, all views and opinions are welcome! We will collect the scores and average them, then post the ZLAC score in the following month's Eight Oars newsletter.
Can't make the in-person meeting? No problem! Email your score to: carolynw.ca@gmail.com AND valeriekayelewis@gmail.com, and you will be included in the scoring.
England, 1580: The Black Death creeps across the land, an ever-present threat, infecting the healthy, the sick, the old and the young alike. The end of days is near, but life always goes on. A young Latin tutor—penniless and bullied by a violent father—falls in love with an extraordinary, eccentric young woman. Agnes is a wild creature who walks her family's land with a falcon on her glove and is known throughout the countryside for her unusual gifts as a healer, understanding plants and potions better than she does people. Once she settles with her husband on Henley Street in Stratford-upon-Avon, she becomes a fiercely protective mother and a steadfast, centrifugal force in the life of her young husband, whose career on the London stage is just taking off when his beloved young son succumbs to sudden fever.

In the near future, disease will be a condition of the past. Most genetic defects will be removed at birth; the remaining during infancy. Lou Arrendale, a high-functioning autistic adult, is a member of the lost generation, born at the wrong time to reap the rewards of medical science. He lives a low-key, independent life. But then he is offered a chance to try a brand-new experimental “cure” for his condition. With this treatment Lou would think and act and be just like everyone else. But if he was suddenly free of autism, would he still be himself? Would he still love the same classical music—with its complications and resolutions? Would he still see the same colors and patterns in the world—shades and hues that others cannot see? Most important, would he still love Marjory, a woman who may never be able to reciprocate his feelings? Now Lou must decide if he should submit to a surgery that might completely change the way he views the world . . . and the very essence of who he is.

French novelist Valerie Perrin wrote this funny yet moving story of Violette Toussaint, a caretaker at a cemetery in a small town in Bourgogne. One day the local police chief arrives with a strange request: to deposit his mother’s ashes on the gravesite of a complete stranger. We soon find that his mother’s story is intertwined with Violette’s secret past.

Canadian author Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2013, with good reason: she is widely considered a master and innovator of the short story. Munro passed away in May, and we honor her by reading and discussing this book of short stories, published in 2001.

This book is about true crime but so much more: it's about identity and history as well. Hard to believe it's a true story! Read more about it at Goodreads.
