This is the first of four books in the club’s current series. The books are on loan from the Idaho Commission for Libraries through its Let’s Talk About It program.
Played out against the mythology of the Old West, “Jackalope Dreams” is the story of newly orphaned, spinsterish Corey and is a sometimes comical, sometimes poignant tale of coming-of-age a little late. As she tries to recapture an old dream of becoming a painter, Corey finds herself figuring in other dramas as well, in other lives already as lost as her own.
Pageturners discussions are open to any adult reader. Copies of the books for each month are available to check out at the Research and Information Desk.
The other books in the series and their discussion dates are:
► “Long Road Home” by Martha Radditz, Sept. 26.
► “Passages West: Nineteen Stories of Youth & Identity” by Hugh Nichols, Oct. 24.
► “Love Medicine” by Louise Erdrich, Nov. 28.
The Pageturners Library Book Club is supported by a grant from the Friends of the Library.
