November 24, 2020 - Book Club Meeting 6:00 PM - At RWC
The November Book Club has been changed to a video chat (a Zoom meeting). The day and time remain the same: Tuesday November 24th at 6 pm. The change was made due to the cancellation of indoor activities at our club because of the increasing number of Covid-19 cases. If you are interested in attending but didn't let me know previously, please email Lois so she can send you an invitation to the meeting.
Remarkable Creatures is a historical novel about Mary Anning, who has a talent for finding fossils, and whose discovery of ancient marine reptiles (such as ichthyosaur) shakes the scientific community and leads to new ways of thinking about the creation of the world.
Working in an arena dominated by middle-class men, however, Mary finds herself out of step with her working-class background. In danger of being an outcast in her community, she takes solace in an unlikely friendship with Elizabeth Philpot, a prickly London spinster with her own passion for fossils.
The strong bond between Mary and Elizabeth sees them through struggles with poverty, rivalry, and ostracism, as well as the physical dangers of their chosen obsession. It reminds us that friendship can outlast storms and landslides, anger, and jealousy.
