November’s selection is How to Read a Book: A Heartfelt Novel of Redemption and Unlikely Friendships in a Small Town Bookstore
Thursday, November 19th, 11-12pm
Pull up a seat on one of the couches and join us for Yarn Shop Book Club, where literary discussion meets extremely justifiable knitting time.
Led by our own Arlene, who knows how to guide a lively conversation and appreciate a well-timed, “Hang on, I just need to finish this row,” Book Club is perfect for readers who like their books discussed alongside yarn, laughter, and a little creative multitasking.
Bring your knitting, crochet, or any portable fiber project. Stitching during the discussion isn’t just allowed, it’s practically tradition. Expect good conversation, shared opinions, plenty of laughter, and the comforting rhythm of needles clicking while we discuss the book.
Not a knitter or crocheter? No worries. Grab a latte, settle into a couch, and join a lovely group of women who will actually discuss the story.
Because the best book discussions happen when everyone’s hands are busy.
Book summary:
National Bestseller * From the award-winning author of The One-in-a-Million Boy comes a heartfelt, character-driven, and uplifting novel about a chance encounter at a bookstore, exploring redemption, unlikely friendships, and the life-changing power of sharing stories.
Our Reasons meet us in the morning and whisper to us at night. Mine is an innocent, unsuspecting, eternally sixty-one-year-old woman named Lorraine Daigle…
In this emotional book club fiction, Violet Powell, a twenty-two-year-old from Abbott Falls, Maine, is being released from prison after serving twenty-two months for a drunk-driving crash that killed a local kindergarten teacher.
Harriet Larson, a retired English teacher who runs the prison book club, is facing the unsettling prospect of an empty nest.
Frank Daigle, a retired machinist, hasn’t yet come to grips with the complications of his marriage to the woman Violet killed.
When the three encounter each other one morning in a bookstore in Portland—Violet to buy the novel she was reading in the prison book club before her release, Harriet to choose the next title for the women who remain, and Frank to dispatch his duties as the store handyman—their lives begin to intersect in transformative ways.
How to Read a Book is an unsparingly honest and profoundly hopeful story about forgiveness, letting go of guilt, seizing second chances, and the power of books to change our lives. With the heart, wit, grace, and depth of understanding that has characterized her work, Monica Wood illuminates the decisions that define a life and the kindnesses that make life worth living.
