Meet to discuss a great book the first Wednesday of each month. The August selection is Bog Queen by Anna North. A significant archaeological discovery sets off a clash between past and present over the ownership and use of a stretch of bogland. As the find becomes public, communities and individuals confront competing claims, historical legacies, and differing ideas about the land’s value. North follows those caught in the conflict, showing how decisions about preservation, development, and heritage affect both the environment and the people connected to it.
Sept. 2 selection: The Rarest Fruit by Gaëlle Bélem.
