May Virtual Book Club!
When: Tuesday, May 19th @ 7 pm
Zoom Meeting ID: 898 9470 9949
Join us on May 19th for a chance to connect, albeit virtually, with some fellow book lovers!
The book to be discussed is "The Gifted School" by Bruce Holsinger, originally our book club pick for March but better late than never.
Summary of "The Gifted School" from Amazon - "This deliciously sharp novel captures the relentless ambitions and fears that animate parents and their children in modern America, exploring the conflicts between achievement and potential, talent and privilege.
Set in the fictional town of Crystal, Colorado, The Gifted School is a keenly entertaining novel that observes the drama within a community of friends and parents as good intentions and high ambitions collide in a pile-up with long-held secrets and lies. Seen through the lens of four families who've been a part of one another's lives since their kids were born over a decade ago, the story reveals not only the lengths that some adults are willing to go to get ahead, but the effect on the group's children, sibling relationships, marriages, and careers, as simmering resentments come to a boil and long-buried, explosive secrets surface and detonate. It's a humorous, keenly observed, timely take on ambitious parents, willful kids, and the pursuit of prestige, no matter the cost."
Looking ahead: For those that like to get a head start on their calendars, book club is held at 7 pm on the third Tuesday of the month. The book selection for June is "The Vineyards of Champagne" by Juliet Blackwell.
