TAKE A BREAK BOOK CLUB

We’ll be reading The Secret River, by Kate Grenville.

From Goodreads:

“In 1806 William Thornhill, an illiterate English bargeman and a man of quick temper but deep compassion, steals a load of wood and, as a part of his lenient sentence, is deported, along with his beloved wife, Sal, to the New South Wales colony in what would become Australia. The Secret River is the tale of William and Sal’s deep love for their small, exotic corner of the new world, and William’s gradual realization that if he wants to make a home for his family, he must forcibly take the land from the people who came before him. Acclaimed around the world, The Secret River is a magnificent, transporting work of historical fiction.“

“We will be closed Thursday, August 18th through Saturday August 27th to disassemble and remove the old machine to make way for our new sorting machine. We are excited to update to a new book sorter with enhanced technology. We will also be installing new security gates.

We invite you to stop by and see the changes!”
