April Book Club Selection


We'll be reading a piece of fiction entitled "Montana, 1948" by Larry Watson for our April book club meeting. Literary review magazine Kirkus Reviews writes "Watson (author) offers a lean, gaunt narrative rich with implication about a 12-year-old boy who witnesses the anguish of his sheriff father, who is forced to arrest his own brother for rape ... A literary page-turner, morally complex and satisfying in its careful accumulation of detail and in its use of landscape to reveal character." This is a quick read, a mere wisp of a book at 175 pages, but our next book club meeting will be on Wednesday, April the 8th(@ 6:30pm), so we have but a mere 3 weeks before our next gathering. Hopefully we'll see you there to talk literature together.
