Monthly Book Discussion. The book discussion group will meet on Wednesday September 27th
The Tricking of Freya Freya Morris grows up in a typical American suburb – but every summer, she enters another realm entirely when she visits her relatives in Gimli, a tiny village in Canada settled by Icelandic immigrants. Here she falls under the spell of her troubled but charming aunt Birdie, who thrills her with stories of exotic Norse goddesses, moody Viking bards, and the life of her late grandfather, the most famous poet of "New Iceland." A beautifully-written debut novel that deftly weaves together Iceland’s distinctive history, ancient mythology, reverence for language, and passion for genealogy, The Tricking of Freya is a powerful exploration of kinship, loss and redemption.

A recommendation from Lucinda Cockrell: I love all things Victorian and when I learned of Sarah Perry’s new novel, The Essex Serpent, I knew it was a must read for me. This beautifully written book is full of lush imagery, ideas, and interesting characters. Set in 1890s London and Essex, it is the story of Cora Seaborne, who learns of the mythical Essex Serpent. As an amateur naturalist, Cora thinks the serpent may be a previously undiscovered species which leads to numerous discussions about science, religion, God, and faith. This is an original, elegantly written book which has a full set of characters interacting in thought-provoking ways. It has the ability to take you back to the past. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it.
