DERBY -The Derby Public Library has scheduled its next Lunchtime Book Discussion for 12:30 p.m. May 31.
The selected title is the novel Stella Bain by bestselling author Anita Shreve.  

Set against the backdrop of WWI, Stella Bain, an American

woman who is found suffering from severe shell shock in London, is taken in by surgeon August Bridge and his wife.  

Stella had been working as a nurse’s aide near the front, but can’t remember anything prior to four months earlier when she was found wounded on a French battlefield.  

This, Shreve’s 17^th novel, is a tragic yet hopeful story of love, memory, loss, and rebuilding.
