Event Details

Join us for our adult popular fiction book club, The Page Turners! Registration is required for new participants only. Be sure to include your email address to receive notifications and book lists via email. Those attending the meeting are welcome to bring a snack.

For this meeting, we will discuss the book The Leftover Woman by Jean Kwok. Summary: “Jasmine Yang arrives in New York City from her rural Chinese village without money or family support, fleeing a controlling husband, on a desperate search for the daughter who was taken from her at birth, another female casualty of China's controversial One Child Policy. But with her husband on her trail, the clock is ticking, and she's forced to make increasingly desperate decisions if she ever hopes to be reunited with her daughter. Meanwhile, publishing executive Rebecca Whitney seems to have it all: a prestigious family name and the wealth that comes with it, a high-powered career, a beautiful home, a handsome husband, and an adopted Chinese daughter she adores. She's even hired a Chinese nanny to help her balance the demands of being a working wife and mother. But when an industry scandal threatens to jeopardize not only Rebecca's job but her marriage, this perfect world begins to crumble and her role in her own family is called into question."

Next month we will discuss A December to Remember by Jenny Bayliss.
