BOOK CLUB TO DISCUSS LUANNE RICE BOOK

The Book Club at the Royalton Hartland Community Library will be talking about the heart-wrenching story told in “The Silver Boat” at their March 11 meeting at 7 p.m. in the upstairs meeting room at the library, 9 Vernon Street in Middleport.

“The Silver Boat” is written by the New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice, and it takes place in Martha’s Vineyard where, after their mother’s death, three sisters have come to say good-by to their family’s beach house. After a discovery of a cache of old letters, the sisters begin their journey not only to Ireland, but through their relationships and their family in all its flawed complexity.

“The Silver Boat” tackles the hard process of letting go and readers enjoy a look at Rice’s portrayal of some true-to-life sisters, their warm childhood memories of life at the beach and even a bit of passionate love.

Anyone interested in discussing the book or joining the Book Club can come to the March 11, or any of the monthly meetings that are held at the library. The topics for the future Book Club meetings at the Royalton Hartland Community Library are posted online at www.royhartcommunitylibrary.com and on the library’s Facebook page.

For more information, readers can also call the library at 735-3281.
