SUMMARY:Must Read Mondays - Audition by Katie Kitamura
DESCRIPTION:One woman\, the performance of a lifetime. Or two. An exhilarating\, destabilizing Möbius strip of a novel that asks whether we ever really know the people we love.\n\nTwo people meet for lunch in a Manhattan restaurant. She’s an accomplished actress in rehearsals for an upcoming premiere. He’s attractive\, troubling\, young—young enough to be her son. Who is he to her\, and who is she to him? In this compulsively readable\, brilliantly constructed novel\, two competing narratives unspool\, rewriting our understanding of the roles we play every day – partner\, parent\, creator\, muse – and the truths every performance masks\, especially from those who think they know us most intimately.\n\nPlease fill out this form to get the GoToMeeting sign in information.\nhttps://forms.gle/UE9ZDT8ZD3a7UAQs8

SUMMARY:Must Read Monday - The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon
DESCRIPTION:The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon – In Person and Online – Maine\, 1789: When the Kennebec River freezes\, entombing a man in the ice\, Martha Ballard is summoned to examine the body and determine cause of death. As a midwife and healer\, she is privy to much of what goes on behind closed doors in Hallowell. Her diary is a record of every birth and death\, crime and debacle that unfolds in the close-knit community. Months earlier\, Martha documented the details of an alleged rape committed by two of the town’s most respected gentlemen—one of whom has now been found dead in the ice. But when a local physician undermines her conclusion\, declaring the death to be an accident\, Martha is forced to investigate the shocking murder on her own.

SUMMARY:Must Read Mondays - "The Weight Of Ink\," by Rachel Kadish
DESCRIPTION:Set in London of the 1660s and of the early twenty-first century\, The Weight of Ink is the interwoven tale of two women of remarkable intellect: Ester Velasquez\, an emigrant from Amsterdam who is permitted to scribe for a blind rabbi\, just before the plague hits the city; and Helen Watt\, an ailing historian with a love of Jewish history. \nWhen Helen is summoned by a former student to view a cache of newly discovered seventeenth-century Jewish documents\, she enlists the help of Aaron Levy\, an American graduate student as impatient as he is charming\, and embarks on one last project: to determine the identity of the documents’ scribe\, the elusive “Aleph.” \nElectrifying and ambitious\, The Weight of Ink is about women separated by centuries—and the choices and sacrifices they must make in order to reconcile the life of the heart and mind. \n(description by publisher)\n\nPlease fill out this form to get the GoToMeeting sign in information.\nhttps://forms.gle/UE9ZDT8ZD3a7UAQs8
