Book Group
The Whitingham Library book discussion group meets the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 5 pm.
North Woods by Daniel Mason is a historical novel that tells the story of a single house in the woods of New England over several centuries, following the lives of its many inhabitants, from Puritan settlers to modern-day figures, and even non-human characters like animals and insects. The narrative is structured as a "time-spanning, genre-blurring" work, shifting its form through letters, songs, and field notes, with the house itself acting as a central, silent witness to love, loss, and the cycles of nature and history.
