The “Two Linda’s” welcome back all Art League members and guests to the Book Club. After researching, investigating and, of course,
reading, they have come up with an exciting, engaging mix for this season. The books have already been chosen for November, January,
February, and March. The Linda’s would love input for April book ideas. Please feel free to email any suggestions. The suggestions will be
put to a vote at an earlier Book Club meeting. The Book Club is also looking for volunteers to lead discussions. The Linda’s as well as the
Art League encourage anyone interested to get active and get involved! This club is a fun, easy and entertaining.

The School of Essential Ingredients by Erica Bauermeister
Discussion led by: Mary Ann McGovern
Once a month on Monday night, eight students gather in Lillian’s restaurant kitchen for a cooking class. They come to learn the art behind
Lillian’s dishes, but it soon becomes clear that each one unknowingly seeks a recipe for something beyond the kitchen. One by one, they are
transformed by the aromas, flavors, and textures of what they create. Over time, the paths of the students intermingle and intertwine, and the
essence of Lillian’s cooking expands beyond the restaurant and into the secret corners of their lives, with results that are often unexpected
and always delicious.

The House at Riverton by Kate Morton
Discussion led by: Linda Salisbury
A Stunning Debut Novel recounting the crumbling of a prominent British family as seen through the eyes of a servant girl. There is mystery,
family secrets, a riveting plot, touching love stories, and a haunting ending. The tale is set before and after WWI and captures the enormous
social and cultural changes that occurred during this period. Grace’s story is brought into the present day and suggests that the past cannot
be escaped, and that we inherit legacies from our families that make us who we are.

The Paris Wife by Paula McLain

A deeply evocative story of ambition and betrayal, The Paris Wife captures a remarkable period of time and a love affair between two
unforgettable people: Earnest Hemingway and his wife Hadley. The Couple is not prepared for the hard-drinking and fast-living life of the
Jazz Age in Paris as they try to balance a focus on building a spectacular emerging career with the pre-feminist values of family and home.
