Next Book Club Meeting

Our next book club meeting will take place on January 20th, 2010, at Chapters Rideau. We will be discussing Joseph Boyden's prize-winning 2nd novel Through Black Spruce. It won the Scotiabank Giller Prize in 2008 and is currently longlisted for the 2010 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. Also check out Boyden's first novel, the similarly brilliant Three Day Road. Please join us for a lively and entertaining discussion of a great book!
