NEXT BOOK: "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte


Take note that our next meeting will be on Tuesday, August 9th from 6-7:30 at Becky’s Coffee Corner in Prosser. We’ll be joining together this summer evening to discuss the book; Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. Sarah Brana will be our host.

Come a little early - for Becky will be offering her services before the meeting!


A "hook" about the book;Charlotte Bronte's novel, Jane Eyre (1847), is the famous tale of an orphan, who must overcome seemingly overwhelming odds to survive. This Gothic novel ventures into the nature of love, religion, an awakening, an exploration of the place and treatment of women and children, and much more--all in the form of a vivid adventure as Jane Eyre finds her way. Here are a couple of famous quotations from the novel:

•"It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquillity: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it."
- Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre


•"If all the world hated you, and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved you, and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends."
- Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre
