The Monday Night Book Club is scheduled to meet at 7:00 p.m. in the Silver Room at the Madera Clubhouse on Monday, August 5. Scott McLain will facilitate the discussion of Wait Till Next Year by Doris Kearns Goodwin. The setting of the book takes us back to the suburbs of New York in the 1950s where the author presents a touching memoir of herself as a young girl. She recreates the postwar era when owning a single family home meant the realization of a dream. Everyone knew everyone else on the block and children gathered in the streets to play. Here, Doris Goodwin recalls growing up loving her father and the glorious game of baseball. Doesn’t this sound like a great book for the summer season?
Goodwin is the Pulitzer Prize winning author of No Ordinary Time.
The book scheduled for September is Shadow of the Titanic by Andrew Wilson.
