Lower School
Book Club
Join us for our next Lower
School Book Club for adults led by Ann Botel-Barnard, our Language Arts
Specialist. We are excited to come together to share a love for a great story!
Book: We Are All Completely
Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler
Location: Lower School Library
Date: Monday, April 6, 2015 from
8:00-9:00am.
Enjoy
a light breakfast and great conversation as we discuss what we loved about the
book, what we had questions about and what we could connect to. Feel free to
join us even if you have not read the entire book. You will still have a lot to
contribute and the discussion will enhance your reading of the book. You are
welcome to bring adult friends and relatives that are also interested in
discussing this book.
This
powerful novel explores what it means to be a family in conventional and
unusual ways. Of course, what family today is not a little unusual? As you read
this engaging novel, you will feel a range of emotions from joy to sorrow and
from questioning to a sense of resolution. Karen Joy Fowler won the Penn/Faulkner Award for
best fiction writing in 2014 for this book and was one of only two American
authors shortlisted for the 2014 Mann
Booker prize.
