Book Discussion

Join the Easley Book Discussion group at 7p.m. Tuesday, March 27, at the Hampton Memorial Library to discuss The Book of Ruth by Jane Hamilton.

Ruth Grey lives in a tiny Illinois town.  She is tormented by her mother May, whose husband died in WWII, and her brother Matt, an attention-hogging math prodigy. Ruth is left to survive on her own meager resources. She struggles along subsisting on what little attention she can get from her Aunt Sid, and later, from her screwed-up husband, Ruby. Though fundamentally a good person, Ruth seems to walk down a painful, dead-end path.

The Easley Book Discussion group meets regularly on the 4^th Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. and actively welcomes new members. Call or stop by any of the library locations to reserve a copy of The Book of Ruth or visit www.pickens.lib.sc.us for more details.
