Book Clubs at Dorris Van Doren
Did you know that the Dorris Van Doren Library has two book clubs that meet monthly?
The Dorris Van Doren Book Club meets every last Thursday of the month. They read a variety of different genres and typically select new and intriguing bestsellers. For the month of October they will be reading A Woman in the Polar Night by Christiane Ritter.
From Pushkin Press: "In 1934, the painter Christiane Ritter leaves her comfortable home for a year with her husband on the Arctic island of Spitsbergen. On arrival she is shocked to realise that they are to live in a tiny ramshackle hut on the shores of a lonely fjord, hundreds of miles from the nearest settlement.
At first, Christiane is horrified by the freezing cold, the bleak landscape and the lack of supplies… But after encounters with bears and seals, long treks over the ice and months of perpetual night, she finds herself falling in love with the Arctic’s harsh, otherworldly beauty.
This luminous classic memoir tells of her inspiring journey to freedom and fulfilment in the adventure of a lifetime."
The next meeting of the Dorris Van Doren Book Club is Thursday, October 31, 2024 at 1 PM.
