DESCRIPTION:Book Club is a welcoming\, low-pressure space for anyone who lo
 ves a good story and friendly conversation. We meet once a month on a Mond
 ay 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. \n\
 nThere’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 st
 ill more than welcome to come and take part in the discussion. Our meeting
 s are relaxed and collaborative\, with everyone invited to share insights\
 , ask questions\, or simply listen. \n\nWhether 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 par
 t of a warm and welcoming community. \n\nIf you have an questions reach ou
 t to Caroline Duncanson at cduncanson@sympatico.ca\nThis month's book is B
 ook of Records by Madeline Thien. \nLina and her father arrive at an encl
 ave called The Sea\, a staging post between migrations\, with only a few p
 ossessions. In this mysterious and shape-shifting place\, a building made 
 of time\, pasts and futures collide. Lina befriends her neighbors: Bento\,
  a Jewish scholar in seventeenth-century Amsterdam\; Blucher\, a philosoph
 er in 1930s Germany fleeing Nazi persecution\; and Jupiter\, a poet of Tan
 g Dynasty China.Memory\, political revolution\, generational change\, and 
 the ethical imagination are at the heart of Lina’s illuminating conversa
 tions with her fellows in the Sea: how we come to believe what we believe\
 , and how every person is an irreplaceable\, unique vessel of history. Thr
 ough the guidance of these great thinkers\, Lina equips herself to reckon 
 with difficult questions of guilt\, responsibility\, and the possibility o
 f redemption when her ailing father begins to reveal his role in their fam
 ily’s tragic past.
