Book Club is a welcoming, low-pressure space for anyone who loves a good story and friendly conversation. We meet once a month on a Monday to share our thoughts on a wide variety of engaging reads. This year, we’re exploring the works of many Canadian authors, including fiction, memoirs, history, and other thought-provoking literary non-fiction.
There’s no expectation to attend every meeting - join when you can! And if life gets in the way and you haven’t finished the book, you’re still more than welcome to come and take part in the discussion. Our meetings are relaxed and collaborative, with everyone invited to share insights, ask questions, or simply listen.
Whether you’re a lifelong reader or just looking for a reason to read more, the Rosedale Centre Book Club is a great way to connect with others, discover new authors, and be part of a warm and welcoming community.
If you have an questions reach out to Caroline Duncanson at cduncanson@sympatico.ca
This month's book is Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton.
When lockdown led busy professional Chloe to leave the city and return to the countryside of her childhood, she never expected to find herself custodian of a newly born hare. Yet when she finds the creature, endangered, alone and no bigger than her palm, she is compelled to give it a chance at survival.
Raising Hare chronicles their journey together and the challenges of caring for the leveret and preparing for its return to the wild. We witness an extraordinary relationship between human and animal, rekindling our sense of awe towards nature and wildlife. This improbable bond of trust serves to remind us that the most remarkable experiences, inspiring the most hope, often arise when we least expect them.
