Grafton Book Discussion Group Meeting

The book discussion group of the Grafton Community Library will be discussing Thornton Wilder’s The Bridge of San Luis Rey on Wednesday, November 30, at 12:30 pm at the Library.
Set in colonial Peru in the early 18th century, The Bridge of San Luis Rey examines the lives of five unrelated individuals who plummeted to their deaths when a bridge collapsed. The novel asks the old question of why bad things happen to good people by searching for parallels in the lives of those who died in a freak accident – an accident that must have been the will of God. The Bridge won a Pulitzer prize in 1928, and half a century later it was named one of the hundred best novels of the twentieth century by the American Modern Library.
Copies of the book are available at the Library. The group is open to anyone interested in joining the discussion. Pre-registration is not required. For more information, please call the Library at 279-0580.
