If you would like to be involved but didn’t get to the launch the librarian has registration forms. It’s not too late to join.

Our Summer Reading Club reviewer this week is Roma Sinclair. Roma wrote about “All the Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doerr. “The blurb on the back of this book states that ‘I’m not sure I will read a better novel this year … Enthrallingly told, beautifully written and so emotionally plangent that some passages bring tears’. “This amateur reviewer believes she can’t improve on that; this book held her interest from beginning to end. Its characters matter. For anyone who grew up during The War it would be approached as ‘just another war book’ but instead we are gripped by characters who matter, from the beginning to the end. We care what happens to them and realize, probably for the first time, what it must have been like to live in territory occupied by enemy forces. This reviewer urges you – buy, borrow, swipe even, but read this thoughtful, involving, mesmerizing book. You will be rewarded!”
