Each month the group meets to discuss literary works which have stood the "test of time" and are generally considered classics of their genre.
Limited copies of book discussion titles will be available at the Information Desks at both FCL locations approximately 30 days before the discussion.
This month we will be reading The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton.
Synopsis:
Widely regarded as one of Wharton's greatest achievements it is a satirical and sometimes dark and disturbing comedy of manners which explores the 'eternal triangle' of love against the backdrop of upper-class New York society during the 1870s. The author's combination of powerful prose with a thoroughly researched and meticulous evocation of the manners and style of the period has delighted readers since the novel's first publication in 1920. It won the Pulitzer Prize in 1921 - the first time it has been won by a woman author.
