All are welcome to join lively discussions of books selected annually by regular participants. Readers are welcome to sit in on a session to meet the group. We meet the third Tuesday of every month in the Collins Room, Ipswich Library, from 6:30-7:45 PM. Registration is not required. We read mainly current fiction but are open to any suggestions from readers. Each month, Ipswich Library staff order the books from the Merrimack Valley Library Consortium and make copies available in multiple media. Discussions are animated and book selections can be eclectic. Topics can include the book’s merits, its relation to other books, and lessons conveyed. The author’s life and body of works are often included.

This month's book is: Miller's Valley by Anna Quindlen

About the book:

"From the bestselling author of Still life with bread crumbs. This story begins in the 1960s, and explores how Mimi Miller comes of age, over and over again. As the years go by, the unthinkable starts to seem inevitable. Anna Quindlen's novel takes us through the changing eras of Mimi and her family, as secrets are revealed, and the heartbreaks of growing up and falling in love with the wrong man are overcome"
