Our book this month was "People of the Book" by Geraldine Brooks.  Ed and Chrysanne attended by zoom, with the rest of at Mindy's house sharing food and company.  Everyone enjoyed the story of the Sarajevo Haggadah, and appreciated the history that was (re)told.  The science of book restoration was also interesting - we wondered what our books could tell future restorers about our lives.  We noted that while this story is ancient, it is about themes that are very relevant today.  At one point in the evening someone asked exactly what a Haggadah was - which prompted Alan to open up his satchel and share a number of Haggadahs from his house.  

UP NEXT: is Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. 5:00 on July 20th at Tim's
