What better pairing for a great book than a glass of wine? A glass of wine with friends of course!
We meet on a Thursday each month to discuss the book of the month over a glass of wine! You can do this as a group of friends reading together, or use it as an opportunity to meet some new friends – you know you’ve got at least a love of City Scape in common!
Whether you are one of the original members, you know who you are ;), or you are wanting to jump in for your first time, all are welcome!
For the September Book Club, we will be reading Go Gentle by Maria Semple.
Adora Hazzard has it all figured out. A Stoic philosopher and divorcée, she lives a contented life on New York City’s Upper West Side. Having discovered that the secret to happiness is to desire only what you have, she’s applied this insight to blissful effect: relishing her teenage daughter, the freedom of being solo, and her job as a moral tutor for the twin boys of an old-money family. She’s even assembled a “coven”—like-minded women who live on the same floor in the legendary Ansonia—and is making active efforts to grow its membership. Adora’s carefully curated life is humming along brilliantly until a chance meeting with a handsome stranger.
Soon, her ordered world is upended by black-market art deals, secret rendezvous, and international intrigue . . . and her past—which she has worked so hard to bury—lands like a bomb in her present. Inflamed by unquenchable desire, Adora finds herself a woman wanting more: and she’ll risk everything to get it.
Adora Hazzard’s journey of self-discovery will grip you from the start. Romantic, hilarious, intelligent, and bursting with the stuff of life, Go Gentle is a thrilling story of one woman’s mid-life transformation, cementing Maria Semple in the pantheon of our most exciting and important contemporary writers.
You can purchase your own copy of the book in paperback or as an audiobook to listen!
This will be a perfect place for you to connect with others who love wine and books!
