Women's Book Club - New Book Selection
We are trying a different kind of book for our next book club meeting – we’ve been reading non-fiction, and this month we have chosen a work of fiction that has points of interest for discussion to us as an Orthodox reading group.
The Awakening of Miss Prim
has lots to recommend it – it’s a little “light reading” for us post-Pascha!
Next meeting: Sunday, June 2
A young woman leaves everything behind to work as a librarian in a remote French village, where she finds her outlook on life and love challenged in every way. Prudencia Prim is a young woman of intelligence and achievement, with a deep knowledge of literature and several letters after her name. But when she accepts the post of private librarian in the village of San Ireneo de Arnois, she is unprepared for what she encounters there. The neighbors, are capable of charm and eccentricity in equal measure, determined as they are to preserve their singular little community from the modern world outside.
