Petersen's Read & Wine - August
About
Welcome to Petersen's Read and Wine Book Club!We'll be focusing on fiction for this club, primarily new release that covers a wide range of genres including contemporary, Australian authors, romance, crime/thrillers and more. Each month we'll explore a different genre as chosen by the members.
This month we are reading Things We Never Say by Elizabeth Strout. Artie Dam is a man with a secret. He spends his days teaching history to high schoolers, expanding their young minds, correcting their casual cruelties, and lending a kind word to those who need it most. He goes to holiday parties with his wife of three decades, makes small talk with neighbours, and, on weekends, takes his sailboat out on the beautiful Massachusetts Bay. He is, by all appearances, present and alive. But inside, Artie is plagued by feelings of isolation. He looks out at a world gone mad-at himself and the people around him-and turns a question over and over in his mind- how is it that we know so little about one another, even those closest to us?
