Book Club
2023-04-16 14:00 - 16:00 | Alberta
Chosen books for April and May
The OCL Book Club has voted and our next two books have been set:
April’s book is Matchmaker’s Gift by Lynda Cohen Loigman. A heartwarming story of two extraordinary women from two different eras who defy expectations to utilize their unique gift of seeing soulmates in the most unexpected places.
May’s book is Stone Blind by Natalie Haynes. A fresh take on the story of Medusa that brings empathy and nuance to this classic Greek monster. This retelling revitalizes and reconstructs Medusa’s story with passion and fierce wit, offering a timely retelling of this classic myth that speaks to us today.
Pick up a copy and join us for our next discussion on April 16 at 2 p.m. at The Cabin Pub+Party!
