Please join Nancy Zachary in the Scott Room  of Scarsdale Library on Wednesday April 24 at 2 pm to discuss The Librarianist by Patrick deWitt.

"An old man’s routines are interrupted by a woman in pink in this wistful fable. Bob Comet, a retired librarian, is 71 and has lived an unremarkable life in Portland, Oregon, in a mint-colored house that belonged to his late mother. “He had no friends, per se; his phone did not ring, and he had no family.” The year is 2005, and this dreary state of affairs stems partly from the fact that shortly after he married her in 1959, Bob’s wife ran off with his best friend. Things begin to change for the retiree when he encounters a woman about his age in a pink sweatsuit staring at the refrigerated beverages in a 7-Eleven. ... A quietly effective and moving character study." - Kirkus.

Please join Nancy Zachary in the Scott Room at Scarsdale Library on Wednesday May 22 at 2 pm to discuss Lady Tan's Circle of Women by Lisa See.

"The lives of women in 15th-century China are illuminated in this engrossing novel. Tan Yunxian was a real historical figure who published a book about her career as a physician, but little is known about her personal life. See creates a rich story about a girl born into an aristocratic family. That accident of birth should have written her fate: limited education, bound feet, arranged marriage, childbirth, and a life spent entirely behind the walls of family compounds. She doesn’t escape all of those things, but after the early death of her mother, she’s raised by her paternal grandparents, who are both doctors, and given an unusually advanced education, including in the healing arts they practice. ... Women’s friendships in a world where they have little freedom shape a quietly moving book." - Kirkus.
