Enhance your UUFSD Relationships with our Book Clubs
If reading is your thing, we may have the perfect gathering for you.
On Monday, December 9th at 7pm we will be discussing the classic coming of age story A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith, set in the early 20th century in an impoverished Williamsburg neighborhood.
On WEDNESDAY (note day change) December 18th at 10am, our daytime group will discuss The Red-Haired Woman by Orhan Pamuk (Turkish novelist & winner of 2006 Nobel Prize in Literature who writes of the confluence of East and West). Written in 2016 (translated 2017), our novel is a philosophical tale set outside Istanbul, where a well digger and his young apprentice develop a filial bond neither has known before. But when the boy catches the eye of a stunning red-haired woman, the events that ensue change the young man’s life forever and haunt him for the next thirty years.
