SUMMARY:Book Club - My Year of Meats by Ruth Ozeki
DESCRIPTION:A cross-cultural tale of two women brought together by the intersections of television and industrial agriculture\, fertility and motherhood\, life and love. Ruth Ozeki’s mesmerizing debut novel has captivated readers and reviewers worldwide. When documentarian Jane Takagi-Little finally lands a job producing a Japanese television show that just happens to be sponsored by an American meat-exporting business\, she uncovers some unsavory truths about love\, fertility\, and a dangerous hormone called DES. Soon she will also cross paths with Akiko Ueno\, a beleaguered Japanese housewife struggling to escape her overbearing husband. Hailed by USA Today as “rare and provocative” and awarded the Kirayama Prize for Literature of the Pacific Rim\, My Year of Meats is a modern-day take on Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle for fans of Michael Pollan\, Margaret Atwood\, and Barbara Kingsolver.

SUMMARY:Book Club - Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean by Edward Kritzler
DESCRIPTION:Member’s residence in Trumbull\n\nAt the end of the fifteenth century\, the Spanish Inquisition forced many Jews to flee the country. The most adventurous among them took to the high seas as freewheeling outlaws. In ships bearing names such as the Prophet Samuel\, Queen Esther\, and Shield of Abraham\, they attacked and plundered the Spanish fleet while forming alliances with other European powers to ensure the safety of Jews living in hiding. \nJEWISH PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN is the entertaining saga of a hidden chapter in Jewish history and of the cruelty\, terror\, and greed that flourished during the Age of Discovery. Readers will meet such daring figures as “the Great Jewish Pirate” Sinan\, Barbarossa’s second-in-command; the pirate rabbi Samuel Palache\, who founded Holland’s Jewish community; Abraham Cohen Henriques\, an arms dealer who used his cunning and economic muscle to find safe havens for other Jews; and his pirate brother Moses\, who is credited with the capture of the Spanish silver fleet in 1628–the largest heist in pirate history. Filled with high-sea adventures—including encounters with Captain Morgan and other legendary pirates—and detailed portraits of cities stacked high with plunder\, such as Port Royal\, Jamaica\, JEWISH PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN captures a gritty and glorious era of history from an unusual and eye-opening perspective.

SUMMARY:Book Club - The Woman They Could Not Silence - by Kate Moore
DESCRIPTION:1860: As the clash between the states rolls slowly to a boil\, Elizabeth Packard\, housewife and mother of six\, is facing her own battle. The enemy sits across the table and sleeps in the next room. Her husband of twenty-one years is plotting against her because he feels increasingly threatened – by Elizabeth’s intellect\, independence\, and unwillingness to stifle her own thoughts. So Theophilus makes a plan to put his wife back in her place. One summer morning\, he has her committed to an insane asylum. The horrific conditions inside the Illinois State Hospital in Jacksonville\, Illinois\, are overseen by Dr. Andrew McFarland\, a man who will prove to be even more dangerous to Elizabeth than her traitorous husband. But most disturbing is that Elizabeth is not the only sane woman confined to the institution. There are many rational women on her ward who tell the same story: they’ve been committed not because they need medical treatment\, but to keep them in line – conveniently labeled “crazy” so their voices are ignored. No one is willing to fight for their freedom and\, disenfranchised both by gender and the stigma of their supposed madness\, they cannot possibly fight for themselves. But Elizabeth is about to discover that the merit of losing everything is that you then have nothing to lose… \nLet rhonarobbin@yahoo.com know if you are planning to attend\, or if you want to be put onto the CHJ Book Club mailing list.
