The selection for this month is Birnam Wood by Eleonor Catton.
A gripping psychological thriller from the Booker Prize-winning author of The Luminaries, Birnam Wood is Shakespearean in its wit, drama, and immersion in character. A brilliantly constructed consideration of intentions, actions, and consequences, it is an unflinching examination of the human impulse to ensure our own survival.
To join the discussion, email Maryann Bracken at mabfilkins@gmail.com for the Zoom link.
There will be no class today as Maryann is on vacation. Jennifer King will substitute for Maryann starting Sept 16th at 10:30am and she will send a link to registrants.
Chatfield Hollow State Park
We have a special walk scheduled for September with SVCT member Cheryl Buckley and Naturalist Wray Williams at Chatfield Hollow State Park. They will be discussing the long history of the park and pointing out the plants along our leisurely walk along a paved path. This is a wonderful opportunity to join Village friends and to learn about this magnificent resource.
Please register by Friday, September 6 by phoning 203-738-9547 or email info@ShorelineVillageCT.org. and let us know if you would like to car pool. If you prefer to drive on your own, you can meet us at 9:50 in front of the Oak Lodge Nature Center, the red building near the pond. The address is 381 Route 80, Killingworth.
