Petersen's Book Gathering - September
About
Welcome to Petersen's Book Gathering!We'll be focusing on classics, non-fiction, memoirs and literature for this club, with the focus on deep conversations about the literature and guided conversations relating to the content of the book. Each month we'll explore a different genre as chosen by the members.
You can choose to BYO book (you might borrow a copy from a friend, through the library, prefer audio or purchase elsewhere) or you can purchase the book through Petersen's Bookstore. Just select your preference when you RSVP.
Places limited to 10 people per month - we want everyone to get the opportunity to discuss the book and generate meaningful conversation which we can't do if there are too many voices.
In September we are reading A Wisdom of Age by Jacinta Parsons. An uplifting, inspiring book about the wisdom of older women - and what we can learn from them to rewrite the story of the second half of our lives. A Wisdom of Age was sparked by the many conversations Jacinta Parsons has had recently with older women right around the country about the experience of being a woman and ageing. Over the course of these encounters, it became clear to Jacinta that the conversation about ageing for women is alive and bubbling with a kind of excitement - that is, women are ready to do ageing differently.
Sessions will be moderated, with light refreshments provided.
