Book Club: "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen

Book Club: “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen

Wednesday, June 24

6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

This month we’re reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

Walk ins welcome – copies of this book will be available for pick up at the circulation desk.

For information, email sbock@dobbsferrylibrary.org!

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” So begins Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen’s witty comedy of manners–one of the most popular novels of all time–that features splendidly civilized sparring between the proud Mr. Darcy and the prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet as they play out their spirited courtship in a series of eighteenth-century drawing-room intrigues. Renowned literary critic and historian George Saintsbury in 1894 declared it the “most perfect, the most characteristic, the most eminently quintessential of its author’s works,” and Eudora Welty in the twentieth century described it as “irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be.”

Book Club: "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen

Book Club: “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen

Wednesday, June 24

6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

This month we’re reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

Walk ins welcome – copies of this book will be available for pick up at the circulation desk.

For information, email sbock@dobbsferrylibrary.org!

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” So begins Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen’s witty comedy of manners–one of the most popular novels of all time–that features splendidly civilized sparring between the proud Mr. Darcy and the prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet as they play out their spirited courtship in a series of eighteenth-century drawing-room intrigues. Renowned literary critic and historian George Saintsbury in 1894 declared it the “most perfect, the most characteristic, the most eminently quintessential of its author’s works,” and Eudora Welty in the twentieth century described it as “irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be.”

Book Club: "The Everlasting" by Alix E. Harrow

Book Club: “The Everlasting” by Alix E. Harrow

Wednesday, July 29

6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

This month we’re reading The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow.

Walk ins welcome – copies of this book will be available for pick up at the circulation desk.

For information, email sbock@dobbsferrylibrary.org!

“Sir Una Everlasting was Dominion’s greatest hero: the orphaned girl who became a knight, who died for queen and country. Her legend lives on in songs and stories, in children’s books and recruiting posters–but her life as it truly happened has been forgotten. Centuries later, Owen Mallory–failed soldier, struggling scholar–falls in love with the tale of Una Everlasting. Her story takes him to war, to the archives–and then into the past itself. Una and Owen are tangled together in time, bound to retell the same story over and over again, no matter what it costs. But that story always ends the same way. If they want to rewrite Una’s legend–if they want to tell a different story–they’ll have to rewrite history itself.”
