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.”

Due to COVID-19 shutdowns of libraries and just about every other thing in life\, we were unable to run the programs planned by the 24 local libraries involved. However\, a lot of people have read the book and love it and want to talk about it. So\, we are doing this here in the Tilton Book to Art Group. \nFREE online audiobook available without any waitlist on Overdrive\, through the library:\nhttps://cwmars.overdrive.com/cwmars-tilton/content/media/2854558 \nThis event will involved a day long\, come-when-you-can open Facebook discussion on June 25…and of course we highly encourage everyone to make art to accompany and express the feelings you have from the book. Any art is welcome\, from doodles to paintings\, photography to cake! Just take a photo of your creation and share it on the Tilton Book to Art Group page as part of our discussion. This book evokes so many wonderful images\, we doubt you will leave it feeling uninspired. Talk to you and see you…and your art…then!

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

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.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Book Discussion: The Locals by Jonathan Dee
DESCRIPTION:Meets on Zoom – email tiltonlibrary@cwmars.org for Zoom link. IF WEATHER IS NICE – we may meet outside behind the library – call 413-665-4683 or email to find out that day\n  \n“Summons up a small American town at precisely the right moment in our history . . . a bold\, vital\, and view-expanding novel.”—George Saunders \nA rural working-class New England town elects as its mayor a New York hedge fund millionaire in this inspired novel for our times—fiction in the tradition of Jonathan Franzen and Jennifer Egan. \nA WASHINGTON POST NOTABLE BOOK \nMark Firth is a contractor and home restorer in Howland\, Massachusetts\, who feels opportunity passing his family by. After being swindled by a financial advisor\, what future can Mark promise his wife\, Karen\, and their young daughter\, Haley? He finds himself envying the wealthy weekenders in his community whose houses sit empty all winter. \nPhilip Hadi used to be one of these people. But in the nervous days after 9/11 he flees New York and hires Mark to turn his Howland home into a year-round “secure location” from which he can manage billions of dollars of other people’s money. The collision of these two men’s very different worlds—rural vs. urban\, middle class vs. wealthy—is the engine of Jonathan Dee’s powerful new novel. \nInspired by Hadi\, Mark looks around for a surefire investment: the mid-decade housing boom. Over Karen’s objections\, and teaming up with his troubled brother\, Gerry\, Mark starts buying up local property with cheap debt. Then the town’s first selectman dies suddenly\, and Hadi volunteers for office. He soon begins subtly transforming Howland in his image—with unexpected results for Mark and his extended family. \nHere are the dramas of twenty-first-century America—rising inequality\, working class decline\, a new authoritarianism—played out in the classic setting of some of our greatest novels: the small town. The Locals is that rare work of fiction capable of capturing a fraught American moment in real time.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Book Discussion: Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson
DESCRIPTION:We will meet inside the children’s room after closing with masks on\, chairs spaced apart\, and windows cracked open. \n  \nA New York Times Bestseller  •  A Read with Jenna Today Show Book Club Pick! \nNamed a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times Book Review\, The Washington Post\, People\, Entertainment Weekly\, USA Today\, TIME\, The A.V. Club\, Buzzfeed\, and PopSugar \n“I can’t believe how good this book is…. It’s wholly original. It’s also perfect…. Wilson writes with such a light touch…. The brilliance of the novel [is] that it distracts you with these weirdo characters and mesmerizing and funny sentences and then hits you in a way you didn’t see coming. You’re laughing so hard you don’t even realize that you’ve suddenly caught fire.” —Taffy Brodesser-Akner\, author of Fleishman is in Trouble\, New York Times Book Review \nFrom the New York Times bestselling author of The Family Fang\, a moving and uproarious novel about a woman who finds meaning in her life when she begins caring for two children with a remarkable ability. \nLillian and Madison were unlikely roommates and yet inseparable friends at their elite boarding school. But then Lillian had to leave the school unexpectedly in the wake of a scandal and they’ve barely spoken since. Until now\, when Lillian gets a letter from Madison pleading for her help. \nMadison’s twin stepkids are moving in with her family and she wants Lillian to be their caretaker. However\, there’s a catch: the twins spontaneously combust when they get agitated\, flames igniting from their skin in a startling but beautiful way. Lillian is convinced Madison is pulling her leg\, but it’s the truth. \nThinking of her dead-end life at home\, the life that has consistently disappointed her\, Lillian figures she has nothing to lose. Over the course of one humid\, demanding summer\, Lillian and the twins learn to trust each other—and stay cool—while also staying out of the way of Madison’s buttoned-up politician husband. Surprised by her own ingenuity yet unused to the intense feelings of protectiveness she feels for them\, Lillian ultimately begins to accept that she needs these strange children as much as they need her—urgently and fiercely. Couldn’t this be the start of the amazing life she’d always hoped for? \nWith white-hot wit and a big\, tender heart\, Kevin Wilson has written his best book yet—a most unusual story of parental love. \n  \nBooks available though Tilton and CWMARS.

SUMMARY:Science Book Discussion: Sirens of Mars
DESCRIPTION:WINNER OF THE PHI BETA KAPPA AWARD FOR SCIENCE • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • Times (UK) • Library Journal\nMars was once similar to Earth\, but today there are no rivers\, no lakes\, no oceans. Coated in red dust\, the terrain is bewilderingly empty. And yet multiple spacecraft are circling Mars\, sweeping over Terra Sabaea\, Syrtis Major\, the dunes of Elysium\, and Mare Sirenum—on the brink\, perhaps\, of a staggering find\, one that would inspire humankind as much as any discovery in the history of modern science. \nIn this beautifully observed\, deeply personal book\, Georgetown scientist Sarah Stewart Johnson tells the story of how she and other researchers have scoured Mars for signs of life\, transforming the planet from a distant point of light into a world of its own. \nJohnson’s fascination with Mars began as a child in Kentucky\, turning over rocks with her father and looking at planets in the night sky. She now conducts fieldwork in some of Earth’s most hostile environments\, such as the Dry Valleys of Antarctica and the salt flats of Western Australia\, developing methods for detecting life on other worlds. Here\, with poetic precision\, she interlaces her own personal journey—as a female scientist and a mother—with tales of other seekers\, from Percival Lowell\, who was convinced that a utopian society existed on Mars\, to Audouin Dollfus\, who tried to carry out astronomical observations from a stratospheric balloon. In the process\, she shows how the story of Mars is also a story about Earth: This other world has been our mirror\, our foil\, a telltale reflection of our own anxieties and yearnings. \nEmpathetic and evocative\, The Sirens of Mars offers an unlikely natural history of a place where no human has ever set foot\, while providing a vivid portrait of our quest to defy our isolation in the cosmos. \n  \nMEETING IN THE TILTON CHILDREN’S ROOM – MASKS REQUIRED\n \n\n\n\nNOTE: TO GET A COPY OF THE BOOK THROUGH THE TILTON LIBRARY\, CALL OR EMAIL US OR PLACE A HOLD THROUGH CWMARS Here. \n\n\n\nThis is part of the Tilton’s participation in the Science Friday Book Club.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Book Group: Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell
DESCRIPTION:NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Of all the stories that argue and speculate about Shakespeare’s life … here is a novel … so gorgeously written that it transports you.” —The Boston Globe \nIn 1580’s England\, during the Black Plague a young Latin tutor falls in love with an extraordinary\, eccentric young woman in this “exceptional historical novel” (The New Yorker) and best-selling winner of the Women’s Prize for Fiction. \nAgnes is a wild creature who walks her family’s land with a falcon on her glove and is known throughout the countryside for her unusual gifts as a healer\, understanding plants and potions better than she does people. Once she settles with her husband on Henley Street in Stratford-upon-Avon she becomes a fiercely protective mother and a steadfast\, centrifugal force in the life of her young husband\, whose career on the London stage is taking off when his beloved young son succumbs to sudden fever. \nA luminous portrait of a marriage\, a shattering evocation of a family ravaged by grief and loss\, and a tender and unforgettable re-imagining of a boy whose life has been all but forgotten\, and whose name was given to one of the most celebrated plays of all time\, Hamnet is mesmerizing\, seductive\, impossible to put down—a magnificent leap forward from one of our most gifted novelists. \nCopies of book available at Tilton adult circulation desk and through CWMARS.

SUMMARY:Atlas Farm Book Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Tilton Library & Atlas Farm Store are co-hosting a Book Discussion! \nClosing the Food Gap “sets out the dream of a nation without poverty and hunger\, telling stories of people and\ncommunity projects that have made a difference in the lives of the food-insecure.” \nIn Closing the Food Gap\, food activist and journalist Mark Winne poses questions too often overlooked in our current conversations around food: What about those people who are not financially able to make conscientious choices about where and how to get food? And in a time of rising rates of both diabetes and obesity\, what can we do to make healthier foods available for everyone? \nTo address these questions\, Winne tells the story of how America’s food gap has widened since the 1960s\, when domestic poverty was “rediscovered\,” and how communities have responded with a slew of strategies and methods to narrow the gap\, including community gardens\, food banks\, and farmers’ markets. The story\, however\, is not only about hunger in the land of plenty and the organized efforts to reduce it; it is also about doing that work against a backdrop of ever-growing American food affluence and gastronomical expectations. Over the last three decades\, Winne has found a way to connect impoverished communities experiencing these health problems with the benefits of CSAs and farmers’ markets; in Closing the Food Gap\, he explains how he came to his conclusions. \n  \n@ TILTON LIBRARY\n75 NORTH MAIN ST\, SOUTH DEERFIELD \nBooks available at the library.
