Northwest Library Book Club

Join us on the second Thursday of each month at 12:00 PM as we discuss a different book! Print Copies will be available in the branch a month before the discussion. Feel free to call the library or email the Library with any questions.

This month's book is Girl Waits with Gun, by Amy Stewart! In this mystery, three sisters living together on a farm are terrorized by the son on of a wealthy silk-dyeing plant owner after he crashes his car into their horse-drawn buggy. The New York Times writes, "Stewart integrates the beliefs and conditions of a vanished way of life into the story, enriching it without playing the intrusive docent. Transportation, domestic arrangements, dress, food, the place of women and the lot of the worker are neatly stitched in, as are the isolation of the country and the public glare of the city, and, most entertainingly, sensational, inaccurate newspaper accounts of events."
