December 13—“The Engineer’s Wife,”by Tracey Enerson Wood. Emily Roebling refuses to live conventionally–she knows who she is and what she wants, and she’s determined to make change. But then her husband asks the unthinkable: give up her dreams to make his possible. Emily’s fight for women’s suffrage is put on hold and her life transformed when her husband, the Chief Engineer of the Brooklyn Bridge is injured on the job. Untrained for the task, but under his guidance, she assumes his role.
January 10—“Anxious People,”by Fredrik Backman. A poignant, charming novel about a crime that never took place, a would-be bank robber who disappears into thin air, and eight extremely anxious strangers who find they have more in common than they ever imagined.
