Coming of age novel is topic of Derby Library book discussion

DERBY - The Derby Public Library will host its next Lunchtime Book Discussion at 12:30 p.m. Oct. 28.

The selected title is the New York Times' best-selling coming of age novel with a hint of mystery, Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger.

The setting is New Breman, Minn. during the summer of 1961.

While it is a time of innocence and hope for the country, for 13-year old Frank Drum it is a grim summer in which death visits frequently and assumes many forms.

Told from Frank's perspective, 40 years after that fateful summer, this is the moving account of a boy standing at the door of manhood, trying to understand a world that seems to be falling apart around him.

Multiple copies of the book are available at the circulation desk.  

Participants are asked to bring a sandwich and a friend as they “chat and chew.”  

Dessert and beverages will be provided.  

Registration is requested.  

For more information, stop by the Library at 313 Elizabeth St. or call 203 736-1482 or visit www.derbypubliclibrary.org.
