This afternoon Lemuria’s book club “Atlantis” will meet at 5 p.m. in our dot.com building which is just outside of Broadstreet Bakery’s north door. We will be having a long awaited discussion of Cutting for Stone, the very popular novel released a couple of years ago which is set in Ethiopia and New York.
The story, which has received international recognition, involves the lives of twin brothers whose mother dies in childbirth and whose father flees the country. The many plot twists and turns take the reader on a roller coaster ride and explore the personal lives of the brilliant twins, who both turn to medicine, just as their father, and adopted mother and father have. Cutting for Stone also examines the political and social unrest in Ethiopia. A very lengthy and provocative novel, Cutting for Stone, is well worth the time spent in reading its over 600 pages. Powerful and persuasive, the novel is filled with all types of love and loss and redemption.
On the first Thursday in May,the 5th, we will be talking about Nicole Krauss’s History of Love and on June 2, we will discuss Colum McCann’s Let the Great World Spin. We read novels which have already been released in paperback. If you join our book club, please tell the person at the cash register that you are a member, so that you will receive the book club’s discount.
