Our September selection for the Senior Village Book Club was βPride and Prejudiceβ by Jane Austen. We decided that once a year we would read a classic. Jane Austen was it! For some, it was the first time they read one of her novels.
A Victorian Tea was offered to complement our meeting by our discussion leader, Michelle Otinger. We had beautiful cups, napkins and plates. A selection of English teas and scones were provided.
Our discussion ranged from a βbeautiful storyβ to βreally?β No matter, our high energy offered comments, critiques and guffaws.
The Senior Village Book Club meets the third Thursday of every month from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. The books we read are determined by club members. For October, we will review βThe Personal Librarianβ by Marie Benedict and βVictoria Christopher Murrayβ, a story of a woman beyond her time and the choices she had to make in order to be recognized and succeed.
