Adult Book Club

Our Adult Book Club meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. in Meeting Room A. Each month a different book is selected by the group.

November's book club pick is "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" by Lisa See. Book club will meet November 6th.

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan
By: Lisa See
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan is written with a stately but unremarkable
prettiness; it is not a book that will make its mark for reasons of style. But Ms.
See has worked enough joy, pain and dramatic weepiness ("Oh, how I wanted to
dip a cloth into that water and wipe away the cares that played across my
laotong's features") to give it a quiet staying power. It's liable to be read by
women's groups and valued for its quaintness. ("All people cherish the hair on
their moles, but Uncle Lu's were splendid.") But what will work best for this book
is its own secret message: cultures vary, but old sames and same-olds don't
change. -The New York Times
