Reader’s Circle: “Absolution”
Thursday, April 17
2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
This month, we will be reading Absolution by Alice McDermott. Get the book at the Library!
Register with reference@dobbsferrylibrary.org — please indicate the title and date of the program you are registering for!
American women―American wives―have been mostly minor characters in the literature of the Vietnam War, but in Absolution they take center stage. Tricia is a shy newlywed, married to a rising attorney on loan to navy intelligence. Charlene is a practiced corporate spouse and mother of three, a beauty and a bully. In Saigon in 1963, the two women form a wary alliance as they balance the era’s mandate to be “helpmeets” to their ambitious husbands with their own inchoate impulse to “do good” for the people of Vietnam.
Sixty years later, Charlene’s daughter, spurred by an encounter with an aging Vietnam vet, reaches out to Tricia. Together, they look back at their time in Saigon, taking wry account of that pivotal year and of Charlene’s altruistic machinations, and discovering how their own lives as women on the periphery―of politics, of history, of war, of their husbands’ convictions―have been shaped and burdened by the same sort of unintended consequences that followed America’s tragic interference in Southeast Asia.
A virtuosic new novel from Alice McDermott, one of our most observant, most affecting writers, about folly and grace, obligation, sacrifice, and, finally, the quest for absolution in a broken world.

Hybrid Program: Writing the World: Ekphrastic in Nature and Beyond
Tuesday, April 22
6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Celebrate National Poetry Month on Earth Day! Westchester County Poet Laureate Phylisha Villanueva will lead an educational and inspiring workshop of intergenerational storytelling and poetry.
Explore how poetry can translate virtual experiences — whether found in nature, art, or everyday life — into vivid, sensory-filled narratives.
Just as the earth offers endless inspiration through its landscapes, textures, and movements, ekphrastic poetry transforms what we see into deeply felt language. We’ll examine how poets bring the natural world to life, capturing its essence in ways that evoke emotion, reflection, and connection. Participants will learn to observe with intention, narrate moments of transformation, and craft poems that bridge the seen and unseen.
Join us this National Poetry Month as we celebrate the power of imagery and poetic interpretation, honoring the written word and the world it reflects.
This event will be held both in the Community Room and online.
Register with reference@dobbsferrylibrary.org — please indicate the title and date of the program you are registering for!

American women―American wives―have been mostly minor characters in the literature of the Vietnam War, but in Absolution they take center stage. Tricia is a shy newlywed, married to a rising attorney on loan to navy intelligence. Charlene is a practiced corporate spouse and mother of three, a beauty and a bully. In Saigon in 1963, the two women form a wary alliance as they balance the era’s mandate to be “helpmeets” to their ambitious husbands with their own inchoate impulse to “do good” for the people of Vietnam.
Sixty years later, Charlene’s daughter, spurred by an encounter with an aging Vietnam vet, reaches out to Tricia. Together, they look back at their time in Saigon, taking wry account of that pivotal year and of Charlene’s altruistic machinations, and discovering how their own lives as women on the periphery―of politics, of history, of war, of their husbands’ convictions―have been shaped and burdened by the same sort of unintended consequences that followed America’s tragic interference in Southeast Asia.
A virtuosic new novel from Alice McDermott, one of our most observant, most affecting writers, about folly and grace, obligation, sacrifice, and, finally, the quest for absolution in a broken world.
Romance Book Club: “Flirting with Disaster”
Wednesday, April 30
6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
This month we’re reading Flirting with Disaster by Naina Kumar.
Copies of this book will be available for pick up at the circulation desk.
To register, email sbock@dobbsferrylibrary.org!
She needs a divorce from her husband—but a hurricane threatens to dredge up their stormy, passionate past in this sizzling reimagining of Sweet Home Alabama.
It’s been years since Meena has seen her husband, Nikhil . . . years since they first laid eyes on each other back home in Texas, years since they eloped in Las Vegas and she felt true happiness. A high-powered lawyer on Capitol Hill, ready to move on (or at least, she thinks so) with another successful lawyer, Shake, Meena has returned home. This time, finally, to obtain a divorce.
But there’s one thing Meena couldn’t have accounted for: a hurricane forming in the Gulf, veering right toward them, giving them no choice but to hunker down in the home they had built together. Suddenly, she finds herself trapped amid gale-force winds and pelting rain with the man she once loved.
As they spend more time together, Meena begins to remember everything that drew her to Nikhil: His small-town charm, his thoughtful nature. . . his absurdly good looks. But things make sense with Shake. He’s steady and ambitious and wants exactly what she wants. She’ll stick to her plan, come hell or high water. But will her windswept heart make the right choice, when the storm settles and the eye passes over?
With sharp observations about second chances at love, ambition and Indian American identity, and with characters who share an undeniable chemistry, Flirting with Disaster is a modern romance with the sensibility of a classic.
