SUMMARY:Third Thursday Book Discussion – Into the Wild
DESCRIPTION:In April 1992 a young man from a well-to-do family hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley. His name was Christopher Johnson McCandless. He had given $25\,000 in savings to charity\, abandoned his car and most of his possessions\, burned all the cash in his wallet\, and invented a new life for himself. Four months later\, his decomposed body was found by a moose hunter. Jon Krakauer constructs a clarifying prism through which he reassembles the disquieting facts of McCandless’s short life. Digging deeply\, he takes an inherently compelling mystery and unravels the larger riddles it holds: the profound pull of the American wilderness on our imagination; the allure of high-risk activities to young men of a certain cast of mind; the complex\, charged bond between fathers and sons

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Book Discussion - A Stranger in the Woods
DESCRIPTION:LIBRARIES IN THE WOODS SERIES PRESENTS: \nA Discussion of A Stranger in the Woods by Michael Finkel \nMany people dream of escaping modern life\, but most will never act on it. This is the remarkable true story of a man who lived alone in the woods of Maine for 27 years\, making this dream a reality; not out of anger at the world\, but simply because he preferred to live on his own.A New York Times bestseller: In 1986\, a shy and intelligent twenty-year-old named Christopher Knight left his home in Massachusetts\, drove to Maine\, and disappeared into the forest. He would not have a conversation with another human being until nearly three decades later\, when he was arrested for stealing food. Living in a tent even through brutal winters\, he had survived by his wits and courage\, developing ingenious ways to store edibles and water\, and to avoid freezing to death. He broke into nearby cottages for food\, clothing\, reading material\, and other provisions\, taking only what he needed but terrifying a community never able to solve the mysterious burglaries. Based on extensive interviews with Knight himself\, this is a vividly detailed account of his secluded life – why did he leave? what did he learn? – as well as the challenges he has faced since returning to the world. It is a gripping story of survival that asks fundamental questions about solitude\, community\, and what makes a good life\, and a deeply moving portrait of a man who was determined to live his own way\, and succeeded. \nThird Thursday is an informal group\, open to all\, no sign up necessary. Reserve your book at the adult circulation desk or online. \nLIBRARIES IN THE WOODS is a community-read program of 10 local libraries\, featuring discussion and related programs on the book\, “Stranger in the Woods: The extraordinary story of the last true hermit” by Michael Finkel.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Book Discussion - Belleweather by Susanna Kearsley
DESCRIPTION:“The house\, when I first saw it\, seemed intent on guarding what it knew; but we all learned\, by the end of it\, that secrets aren’t such easy things to keep.” \nIt’s late summer\, war is raging\, and families are torn apart by divided loyalties and deadly secrets. In this complex and dangerous time\, a young French Canadian lieutenant is captured and billeted with a Long Island family\, an unwilling and unwelcome guest. As he begins to pitch in with the never-ending household tasks and farm chores\, Jean-Philippe de Sabran finds himself drawn to the daughter of the house. Slowly\, Lydia Wilde comes to lean on Jean-Philippe\, true soldier and gentleman\, until their lives become inextricably intertwined. Legend has it that the forbidden love between Jean-Philippe and Lydia ended tragically\, but centuries later\, the clues they left behind slowly unveil the true story. \nPart history\, part romance\, and all kinds of magic\, Susanna Kearsley’s latest masterpiece will draw you in and never let you go\, even long after you’ve closed the last page.

The regulars are telling stories to while away the dark hours\, when the door bursts open on a grievously wounded stranger. In his arms is the lifeless body of a small child.

SUMMARY:THIRD THURSDAY BOOK GROUP: Himself by Jess Kidd
DESCRIPTION:Having been abandoned at an orphanage as a baby\, Mahony assumed all his life that his mother wanted nothing to do with him. That is\, until one night in 1976 while drinking a pint at a Dublin pub\, he receives an anonymous note implying that she may have been forced to give him up. Determined to find out what really happened\, Mahony embarks on a pilgrimage back to his hometown\, the rural village of Mulderrig. Neither he nor Mulderrig can possibly prepare for what’s in store… \nFrom the moment he arrives\, Mahony’s presence completely changes the village. Women fall all over themselves. The real and the fantastic are blurred. Chatty ghosts rise from their graves with secrets to tell\, and local preacher Father Quinn will do anything to get rid of the slippery young man who is threatening the moral purity of his parish. \nA spectacular new addition to the grand Irish storytelling tradition\, Himself “is a darkly comic tale of murder\, intrigue\, haunting and illegitimacy…wickedly funny” (Daily Express). \nFree and open to all. Books available through the library.

SUMMARY:MYSTERY BOOK GROUP: The Last Place You Look by Roxane Weary
DESCRIPTION:The Last Place You Look is a head-on collision between an allegedly closed case and a tenacious\, troubled private investigator who doesn’t know when to quit. \nNobody knows what happened to Sarah Cook. The beautiful blonde teenager disappeared fifteen years ago\, the same night her parents were brutally murdered in their suburban Ohio home. Her boyfriend Brad Stockton―black and from the wrong side of the tracks―was convicted of the murders and is now on death row. Though he’s maintained his innocence all along\, the clock is running out. His execution is only weeks away when his devoted sister insists she spied Sarah at an area gas station. Willing to try anything\, she hires PI Roxane Weary to look at the case and see if she can locate Sarah. \nBrad might be in a bad way\, but private investigator Roxane Weary isn’t doing so hot herself. Still reeling from the recent death of her cop father in the line of duty\, her main way of dealing with her grief has been working as little and drinking as much as possible. But Roxane finds herself drawn in to the story of Sarah’s vanishing act\, especially when she links the disappearance to one of her father’s unsolved murder cases involving another teen girl. \nThe stakes get higher as Roxane discovers that the two girls may not be the only beautiful blonde teenagers who’ve turned up missing or dead. As her investigation gets darker and darker\, Roxane will have to risk everything to find the truth. Lives depend on her cracking this case―hers included. \n  \nTilton Library’s mystery book discussion group has been meeting on the first Thursday of the month at 6:30 p.m. since 2010.  Group members choose the books to be discussed and library staffers order copies for members and others who might be interested in readng the books but not attending the meetings.  The group is open to all.  Free pizza (while it lasts) is provided by the Friends of Tilton Library.

SUMMARY:Mystery Book Group: Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
DESCRIPTION:First published serially between 1859 and 1860\, “The Woman in White” is Wilkie Collins’s epistolary novel that tells the tale of Walter Hartright\, who encounters a woman all dressed in white on a moonlit road in Hampstead. Hartright helps the woman to find her way back to London. The woman warns him against an unnamed baronet and after they part he discovers that she may have escaped from an insane asylum. Hartright travels to Cumberland where he takes up a position as the art tutor of Laura Fairlie and her devoted half-sister\, Marian Halcombe\, who are somehow entangled with this mysterious “woman in white”. Wilkie Collins’s fifth published novel\, “The Woman in White” is considered one of the earliest examples of the mystery genre\, an early work of detective fiction\, and one of the finest examples of sensationalist literature. While the novel was a commercial success when first published it was harshly reviewed by critics of the age. Since that time it has come to be regarded as a groundbreaking work of the mystery genre\, one of Collins’s best.

SUMMARY:MYSTERY BOOK GROUP: The Witch Elm by Tana French
DESCRIPTION:From the writer who “inspires cultic devotion in readers” (The New Yorker) and has been called “incandescent” by Stephen King\, “absolutely mesmerizing” by Gillian Flynn\, and “unputdownable” (People) comes a gripping new novel that turns a crime story inside out. \nToby is a happy-go-lucky charmer who’s dodged a scrape at work and is celebrating with friends when the night takes a turn that will change his life—he surprises two burglars who beat him and leave him for dead. Struggling to recover from his injuries\, beginning to understand that he might never be the same man again\, he takes refuge at his family’s ancestral home to care for his dying uncle Hugo. Then a skull is found in the trunk of an elm tree in the garden—and as detectives close in\, Toby is forced to face the possibility that his past may not be what he has always believed. \nA spellbinding standalone from one of the best suspense writers working today\, The Witch Elm asks what we become\, and what we’re capable of\, when we no longer know who we are.

SUMMARY:THIRD THURSDAY BOOK GROUP: In the Midst of Winter by Isabel Allende
DESCRIPTION:New York Times and worldwide bestselling author Isabel Allende returns with a sweeping novel that journeys from present-day Brooklyn to Guatemala in the recent past to 1970s Chile and Brazil. \nAn instant New York Times bestseller\, In the Midst of Winter is about three very different people who are brought together in a mesmerizing story that offers “a timely message about immigration and the meaning of home” (People). \nDuring the biggest Brooklyn snowstorm in living memory\, Richard Bowmaster\, a lonely university professor in his sixties\, hits the car of Evelyn Ortega\, a young undocumented immigrant from Guatemala\, and what at first seems an inconvenience takes a more serious turn when Evelyn comes to his house\, seeking help. At a loss\, the professor asks his tenant\, Lucia Maraz\, a fellow academic from Chile\, for her advice. \nAs these three lives intertwine\, each will discover truths about how they have been shaped by the tragedies they witnessed\, and Richard and Lucia will find unexpected\, long overdue love. Allende returns here to themes that have propelled some of her finest work: political injustice\, the art of survival\, and the essential nature of—and our need for—love.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Third Thursday Book  Discussion: Braiding Sweetgrass
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to be participating in this year’s Libraries in the Woods community read. After suggestions from library staff throughout the region\, and much discussion\, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom\, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer has been chosen. Along with many book discussion gatherings\, there will also be other events and happenings around this book taking place at more than 20 local libraries. This will be a wonderful opportunity to visit many of the lovely libraries in our region and to feel connected through the act of reading a book in common and then engaging in discussion and learning. We hope everyone will join us in this community-at-large endeavor! \n“As a botanist\, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation\, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass\, Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge together to take us on “a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific\, as sacred as it is historical\, as clever as it is wise” (Elizabeth Gilbert). \nDrawing on her life as an indigenous scientist\, and as a woman\, Kimmerer shows how other living beings―asters and goldenrod\, strawberries and squash\, salamanders\, algae\, and sweetgrass―offer us gifts and lessons\, even if we’ve forgotten how to hear their voices. In reflections that range from the creation of Turtle Island to the forces that threaten its flourishing today\, she circles toward a central argument: that the awakening of ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings will we be capable of understanding the generosity of the earth\, and learn to give our own gifts in return.”

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL THIRD THURSDAY BOOK GROUP: This Is How It Always Is by Laurie Frankel
DESCRIPTION:When Rosie and Penn and their four boys welcome the newest member of their family\, no one is surprised it’s another baby boy. At least their large\, loving\, chaotic family knows what to expect. But Claude is not like his brothers. One day he puts on a dress and refuses to take it off. He wants to bring a purse to kindergarten. He wants hair long enough to sit on. When he grows up\, Claude says\, he wants to be a girl. Rosie and Penn aren’t panicked at first. Kids go through phases\, after all\, and make-believe is fun. But soon the entire family is keeping Claude’s secret. Until one day it explodes.\n\nThis Is How It Always Is is a novel about revelations\, transformations\, fairy tales\, and family. And it’s about the ways this is how it always is: Change is always hard and miraculous and hard again; parenting is always a leap into the unknown with crossed fingers and full hearts; children grow but not always according to plan.\n\nPlease email the library at tiltonlibrary@cwmars.org to get the Zoom link a few days before the event.\n  \nBooks available at the Tilton – call or email for a copy to check out on your account.\n

SUMMARY:NEA Big Read Station Eleven Book Discussion
DESCRIPTION:NEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.\n\nNEA Big Read: Pocumtuck Valley is sponsored by the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association.\n\n\n\nThis series is funded in part by the Friends of Tilton Library.\n\nNEA Big Read: Pocumtuck Valley in partnership with Libraries in the Woods sponsors this discussion of Station Eleven as part of a two month long series of discussions and related programs at 20+ local libraries. Click here for a full listing: https://deerfield-ma.org/nea-big-read-pocumtuck-valley/ \n\n\nEMAIL TILTONLIBRARY@CWMARS.ORG FOR ZOOM LINK TO THIS BOOK DISCUSSION.\n\n\nEmily St. John Mandel’s 2014 novel is set in a dystopian post-pandemic world. Now that we’re experiencing an actual pandemic\, the NEA Big Read of this fictional story provides an opportunity for local communities to discuss our real pandemic experience\, as well as the role the arts play in our lives (a central theme in Station Eleven).\n\nA National Book Award Finalist\nA PEN/Faulkner Award Finalist\nKirsten Raymonde will never forget the night Arthur Leander\, the famous Hollywood actor\, had a heart attack on stage during a production of King Lear. That was the night when a devastating flu pandemic arrived in the city\, and within weeks\, civilization as we know it came to an end.\nTwenty years later\, Kirsten moves between the settlements of the altered world with a small troupe of actors and musicians. They call themselves The Traveling Symphony\, and they have dedicated themselves to keeping the remnants of art and humanity alive. But when they arrive in St. Deborah by the Water\, they encounter a violent prophet who will threaten the tiny band’s existence. And as the story takes off\, moving back and forth in time\, and vividly depicting life before and after the pandemic\, the strange twist of fate that connects them all will be revealed.
