Derby Public Library book discussion to focus on 'The Vacationers'

DERBY - The Derby Public Library has scheduled its next Lunchtime Book Discussion for 12:30 p.m. July 27.
The selected title is The Vacationers by Emma Straub.

This riveting novel combines all the delights of a summer beach read, 
with exceptional wit, intelligence, and insight. 

For the Posts, a two-week trip to the Balearic island of Mallorca with their extended family and friends is a celebration. Franny and Jim are
observing their 35th wedding anniversary, and their daughter, Sylvia, has graduated from high school.

Anticipated as an escape from tensions simmering at home,
the trip soon reveals secrets, resurfaces childhood rivalries, and unleashes emotional turmoil.

It is a story of family and the bonds that ultimately hold us together.  

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, 313 Elizabeth
St., call 203-736-1482, or visit www.derbypubliclibrary.org
