JANUARY BOOK
A belated Happy New Year to everyone. Our book for January is Tess of the D'Urbervilles (LINK) by the prolific Victorian era author Thomas Hardy (wikilink). Once again, we'll be having a virtual meeting via ZOOM, starting at 7pm on the evening of Tuesday, January 5. Check the Comments section below for the invite. Newcomers and oldtimers always welcome. (Pets and pajamas optional.) Stay safe everyone; we're not out of the woods yet.
When Tess Durbeyfield is driven by family poverty to claim kinship with the wealthy D'Urbervilles and seek a portion of their family fortune, meeting her 'cousin' Alec proves to be her downfall. A very different man, Angel Clare, seems to offer her love and salvation, but Tess must choose whether to reveal her past or remain silent in the hope of a peaceful future. With its sensitive depiction of the wronged Tess and powerful criticism of social convention, Tess of the D'Urbervilles, subtitled "A Pure Woman," is one of the most moving and poetic of Hardy's novels.
Laurent Dobuzinskis is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
