Book Clubs at Village Square Booksellers

BELLOWS FALLS— Village Square Booksellers in Bellows Falls, Vermont has several book clubs, led by Myles & Pat. Different topics and meeting at different times of the day, enables customers to pick & choose which discussion group to attend. Myles has chosen another non-fiction book,All The President’s Men. Woodward & Bernstein, two Washington Post reporters, whose Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation smashed the Watergate scandal wide open, tell the behind-the-scenes drama the way it really happened. The discussion will be held from 10-noon on Friday April 13th.

Pat has chosenSmall Great Thingsby Jodi Picoult. Picoult is known for presenting a moral dilemma in each of her books. Ruth Jefferson is a labor and delivery nurse at a Connecticut hospital with more than twenty years’ experience. During her shift, Ruth begins a routine checkup on a newborn, only to be told a few minutes later that she’s been reassigned to another patient. The parents are white supremacists and don’t want Ruth, who is African American, to touch their child. The hospital complies with their request, but the next day, the baby goes into cardiac distress while Ruth is alone in the nursery. Does she obey orders or does she intervene? Ruth hesitates before performing CPR and, as a result, is charged with a serious crime.

The Evening Book Club will meet from 6-8 p.m. on Thursday, April 19. Classics Quarterly will meet from 4-6 p.m. on Wednesday, April 25th to discuss Moby Dick by Herman Melville, led by Myles. Melville’s Moby Dick is a tale of obsession and vengeance, but also contains surprising commentary on storytelling, race, sexuality, philosophy, industry and so much more.
