The Book club topic for February is any work at all by Alice Munro. (listen here to her interview with Diana Athil) This celebrated Canadian icon from Wingham, Ontario has a prolific body of work... from short stories to full blown novels. One of the best known is the short story, The Bear Went Over the Mountain -- perhaps better known by the title of the movie made from this, Away from Her. Directed by Sarah Polley, and starring Olympia Dukasis, Gorden Pinsent, and Julie Christie, parts of this were filmed right here in Lake of Bays.
Check out one of Alice's works, or take home the movie from the library, and come to the Book Club to share your views! Next meeting: Tuesday Feb. 16, 1.30 p.m. at the Library.
In March, we'll be reading Any Known Blood, by Lawrence Hill. Get it now, and get a head start on the reading!
