Enjoy a relaxing evening of conversations about books! We will be meeting in the back room of Red's Wine Bar, 414 Walnut St. in Green Cove Springs. Recommended for ages 21 Summary: April Clarke-Cliveden was the first person Hannah Jones met at Oxford. Vivacious, bright, occasionally vicious, and the ultimate It girl, she quickly pulled Hannah into her dazzling orbit. Together, they cultivated a group of devoted and inseparable friends--Will, Hugh, Ryan, and Emily--during their first term. By the end of the year, April was dead. Now, a decade later, Hannah and Will are expecting their first child, and the man convicted of killing April, former Oxford porter John Neville, has died in prison. Hannah is relieved to have finally put the past behind her, but her world is rocked when a young journalist comes knocking and presents new evidence that Neville may have been innocent. As Hannah reconnects with old friends and delves deeper into the mystery of April's death, she realizes that the friends she thought she knew all have something to hide... including a murderRegistration is not required.

Join us for our monthly book club discussion. Enjoy great reads and good conversation with fellow book lovers. REGISTRATION IS OPTIONAL AND ONLY NECESSARY IF YOU WISH TO RECEIVE A REMINDER EMAIL. Recommended for ages 18 . SUMMARY:Meredith and Nina Whitson are as different as sisters can be. One stayed at home to raise her children and manage the family business; the other followed a dream and traveled the world to become a famous photojournalist. But when their beloved father falls ill, these two estranged sisters will find themselves together again, standing alongside their disapproving mother, Anya, who even now offers no comfort to her daughters. On his deathbed, their father extracts a promise: Anya will tell her daughters a story; it is one she began years ago and never finished. This time she will tell it all the way to the end.The tale their mother tells them is unlike anything theyâve heard beforeâa captivating, mysterious love story that spans more than sixty years and moves from frozen, war-torn Leningrad to modern-day Alaska. Ninaâs obsession to uncover the truth will send them all on an unexpected journey into their motherâs past, where they will discover a secret so shocking, it shakes the foundation of their family and changes who they believe they are.Mesmerizing from beginning to end, Winter Garden is that rarest of novels â at once an epic love story and an intimate portrait of women poised at the crossroads of their lives. Evocative, lyrically written, and ultimately uplifting, it will haunt the listener long after the last word is spoken.
