Krescent,
Just wanted to mention that we have a ward temple trip the first Saturday
morning in August which might impact book club.
Also I love this book.

The book pick for this month is Nora Webster by Colm Toibin.
Here is the description from Amazon. There are plenty of copies in the
library. I haven't read it in a while so hopefully it will be a good
discussion and not another Absalom, Absalom.
Set in Wexford, Ireland, Colm Tóibín’s magnificent seventh novel introduces the
formidable, memorable, and deeply moving Nora Webster. Widowed at forty, with
four children and not enough money, Nora has lost the love of her life,
Maurice, the man who rescued her from the stifling world to which she was born.
And now she fears she may be sucked back into it. Wounded, selfish,
strong-willed, clinging to secrecy in a tiny community where everyone knows
your business, Nora is drowning in her own sorrow and blind to the suffering of
her young sons, who have lost their father. Yet she has moments of stunning
insight and empathy, and when she begins to sing again, after decades, she
finds solace, engagement, a haven—herself.
