SUMMARY:Book Club - The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
DESCRIPTION:The God of Small Things is Arundhati Roy’s 1997 Booker Prize-winning debut novel\, a lyrical and complex family saga set in Kerala\, India\, that explores forbidden love\, casteism\, and the impact of colonialism through the story of fraternal twins Estha and Rahel. The non-linear narrative\, praised for its unique prose\, follows the twins as they reunite after 23 years and confront a tragic event from their childhood—the drowning of their cousin Sophie—which was shaped by the “Love Laws” that dictate who can love whom. The novel is known for its poetic language and its examination of how small events have profound\, lasting consequences.

SUMMARY:Book Group - The Correspondent by Virginia Evans
DESCRIPTION:“Imagine\, the letters one has sent out into the world\, the letters received back in turn\, are like the pieces of a magnificent puzzle. . . . Isn’t there something wonderful in that\, to think that a story of one’s life is preserved in some way\, that this very letter may one day mean something\, even if it is a very small thing\, to someone?” \nFilled with knowledge that only comes from a life fully lived\, The Correspondent is a gem of a novel about the power of finding solace in literature and connection with people we might never meet in person. It is about the hubris of youth and the wisdom of old age\, and the mistakes and acts of kindness that occur during a lifetime. \nSybil Van Antwerp has throughout her life used letters to make sense of the world and her place in it. Most mornings\, around half past ten\, Sybil sits down to write letters—to her brother\, to her best friend\, to the president of the university who will not allow her to audit a class she desperately wants to take\, to Joan Didion and Larry McMurtry to tell them what she thinks of their latest books\, and to one person to whom she writes often yet never sends the letter. \nSybil expects her world to go on as it always has—a mother\, grandmother\, wife\, divorcee\, distinguished lawyer\, she has lived a very full life. But when letters from someone in her past force her to examine one of the most painful periods of her life\, she realizes that the letter she has been writing over the years needs to be read and that she cannot move forward until she finds it in her heart to offer forgiveness. \nSybil Van Antwerp’s life of letters might be “a very small thing\,” but she also might be one of the most memorable characters you will ever read. \nLet bookgroup@humanisticjews.org know if you are planning to attend\, or if you want to be put onto the CHJ Book Club mailing list.
