THOMASTON On Tuesday, June 8, at 2 p.m., the Let’s Talk About It Book Club, from Thomaston Public Library, will return to in-person meetings in the Community Conference Room and will wrap up their series of novels based on historical figures that have shaped our culture with
The Hours by Michael Cunningham.
From the publisher:
“draws inventively on the life and work of Virginia Woolf to tell the story of a group of contemporary characters who are struggling with the conflicting claims of love and inheritance, hope and despair.
“The novel opens with an evocation of Woolf s last days before her suicide in 1941, and moves to the stories of two modern American women who are trying to make rewarding lives for themselves in spite of the demands of friends, lovers, and family.
