The Hawaii Preparatory Academy Community Book Club will meet at 7 p.m. today (Jan. 14) in the Dyer Memorial Library in its Upper Campus.
Community Book Club meetings are free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served and participants are invited to bring a snack to share.
Lois Inman, Dyer Memorial librarian, and Jaime Johnson, Upper School English teacher, will lead the group. The current book selection is New York Times best-seller “Fates and Furies” by Lauren Groff.
“Fates and Furies” is a literary masterpiece that defies expectation. A dazzling examination of a marriage, it also is a portrait of creative partnership written by one of the best writers of her generation.
Every story has two sides. Every relationship has two perspectives. And sometimes, it turns out, the key to a great marriage is not its truths but its secrets. At the core of this rich, expansive, layered novel, Groff presents the story of one such marriage throughout the course of 24 years.
“Fates and Furies” is a National Book Award and Kirkus Prize finalist, and National Public Radio’s Morning Edition Book Club Pick.
