Parents and grandparents of Lower School children had their first meeting of the year on October 20. We shared our insights, connections and feelings about Anne Tyler's book A Spool of Blue Thread. It makes for an interesting discussion when we all have our own varying perspectives about the book. Discussion along with coffee, scones and yogurt parfaits was rich and fulfilling. Come join us for our next book club for adults as we discuss Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel on Tuesday December 1from 8:00-9:00 am in the Lower School library.Station Eleven is a powerful novel that explores what it means to survive an apocalypse- in this case a virus that eliminates the majority of the world population. What would you keep during a world disastrous event? The author reveals that art survives as she focuses on a traveling theater and symphonic troupe that travels the Midwest sharing their art and forming friendships and a family bond in the process. This novel was a finalist for the National Book Award and the Pen/Faulkner Award and the winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award.
