Newport Branch Library Book Club

The Newport Branch Library Book Club will meet the second Wednesday of the month at 2:00 pm. All meetings are open to all readers. This month's book is, Tom Lake by Ann Patchett.

Summary: In the spring of 2020, Lara’s three daughters return to the family's orchard in Northern Michigan. While picking cherries, they beg their mother to tell them the story of Peter Duke, a famous actor with whom she shared both a stage and a romance years before at a theater company called Tom Lake. As Lara recalls the past, her daughters examine their own lives and relationship with their mother, and are forced to reconsider the world and everything they thought they knew.
