Wednesday Afternoon Book Club
The Wednesday Afternoon Book Club meets on the third Wednesday of each month, from 1 to 2 p.m. In November, participants will meet on Nov. 21 to discuss “The Little Paris Bookshop” by Nina George.
“The Little Paris Bookshop,” an international bestseller filled with warmth and adventure, is a love letter to books, meant for anyone who believes in the power of stories to shape people’s lives.
Monsieur Perdu calls himself a literary apothecary. From his floating bookstore in a barge on the Seine, he prescribes novels for the hardships of life. Using his intuitive feel for the exact book a reader needs, Perdu mends broken hearts and souls. The only person he can’t seem to heal through literature is himself; he’s still haunted by heartbreak after his great love disappeared. She left him with only a letter, which he has never opened.
Join Perdu and the Wednesday Afternoon Book Club as Perdu searches for peace with his loss and the end of the story.
