Innisfree Garden

Here is an article about Innisfree Garden in Millbrook, written by Donna Calcavecchio, aka Donnatella de Rosa, of the Library's Circulation Staff, featured in Roll Magazine in June 2011, showcasing Innisfree, a charming local destination. Barbara Seaman, our web Manager, recently visited the gardens, and a conversation ensued in the lunchroom with colleagues, including the author. We learned about this piece and decided to share it with you.

Hard Going: A Bill Slider Mystery by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles. A nice man, by all accounts, Lionel Bygod has shockingly been bludgeoned to death in his study. DI Bill Slider and his team must tease apart the victim's life both for motive and next of kin notification. They subsequently investigate the housekeeper's shady family, the law practice Bygod abandoned abruptly several years earlier, and, most surprisingly, his connection with one of England's most popular stage actresses. 
A typical British procedural given a 21st-century flair with believable protagonists, a diverse ensemble cast, and contemporary issues.

CLIO'S MUSE
A History Reading Club
Zoom Meeting Wednesday, August 26 at 7pm

We are reading two books by Marie Arana: Silver, Sword and Stone: Three Crucibles in the Latin American Story and Bolívar: American LiberatorFeel free to "attend" this virtual meeting whether you finish both books or not. 

Silver, Sword and Stone tells the timely and timeless stories of three contemporary Latin Americans whose lives represent three driving forces that have shaped the character of the region: exploitation (silver), violence (sword), and religion (stone). 

Bolívar is the epic story of the famous South American general and statesman Simón Bolívar. He freed six countries from Spanish rule and is still the most revered figure in South America today.
