About this event

 

We are a group of TVIH members who love and enjoy books.  We read both fiction and nonfiction.  Books are selected as a joint decision by the group membership.  Our discussions are always stimulating and lively.  We enthusiastically invite you to join our group.

February's book is "How to Read a Book by Monica Wood"
This discussion will be led by ~ Ellen Hellawell

How to Read a Book by Monica Wood is a heartwarming and poignant novel that explores themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the transformative power of literature. 

The story weaves together the lives of three characters: Violet, a young woman grappling with guilt after a drunk-driving incident; Harriet, a retired teacher who finds purpose in leading a prison book club; and Frank, a grieving widower seeking meaning after his wife’s death. Their paths intersect in a Portland bookstore, sparking a journey of healing and unlikely friendship. With compassion and insight, Wood celebrates second chances and the enduring connections forged through shared stories.
