Join our Historical Fiction Book Club where we'll meet in-person every other month on the last Monday from 6:30-7:30PM in the Library's Classroom. This book group will focus on reading Historical fiction titles. If you have any questions you can email [email protected] This month we will be discussing Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood by Marjane Satrapi. You can find copies online through our NOBLE catalog in Regular Print. About the book: In powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Satrapi tells the coming-of-age story of her life in Tehran from ages six to fourteen, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah’s regime, the triumph of the Islamic Revolution, and the devastating effects of war with Iraq. The intelligent and outspoken only child of committed Marxists and the great-granddaughter of one of Iran’s last emperors, Marjane bears witness to a childhood uniquely entwined with the history of her country. Persepolis paints an unforgettable portrait of daily life in Iran and of the bewildering contradictions between home life and public life. Marjane’s child’s-eye view of dethroned emperors, state-sanctioned whippings, and heroes of the revolution allows us to learn as she does the history of this fascinating country and of her own extraordinary family. Intensely personal, profoundly political, and wholly original, Persepolis is at once a story of growing up and a reminder of the human cost of war and political repression. It shows how we carry on, with laughter and tears, in the face of absurdity. And, finally, it introduces us to an irresistible little girl with whom we cannot help but fall in love. https://danverslibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/historical-fiction-book-club-22/

Catch new releases, forgotten classics and overlooked gems every Friday at 1:00pm. THIS WEEK:  The Grapes of Wrath (1940)  The Joad clan, introduced to the world in John Steinbeck's iconic novel, is looking for a better life in California. After their drought-ridden farm is seized by the bank, the family -- led by just-paroled son Tom (Henry Fonda) -- loads up a truck and heads West. On the road, beset by hardships, the Joads meet dozens of other families making the same trek and holding onto the same dream. Once in California, however, the Joads soon realize that the promised land isn't quite what they hoped.
