A new kind of book club meeting
- Location: Claire T. Carney Library, Room 122, Grand Reading Room
- Cost: free
- Contact: > See Description for contact information
- Description: Steven Manchester
The Claire T. Carney Library Associates would like to invite you to a book club meeting on Thursday, September 8th, 2022 at 4 PM in the Grand Reading Room of the Claire T. Carney Library. Parking is available on campus in lot13. We will be discussing the national best-selling book, Ashes, by local author Steven Manchester.
How often have you attended a book club meeting and wondered what it would be like to discuss the book with its author? Here’s your chance. Steven Manchester will be discussing the book with the group.
Steven Manchester is the author of #1 bestsellers, Twelve Months, The Rockin’ Chair, Pressed Pennies and Gooseberry Island. He also wrote national bestsellers, Ashes, the Changing Season and Three Shoeboxes. This fall, he will be releasing a new novel. A native of Westport, he began his writing career after serving in Operation Desert Storm. He is married to his wife, Paula. Together, they have four children.
Come spend an afternoon, discussing this fascinating novel that depicts estranged middle-aged brothers, brought together by the final request of a cruel father who asked that they travel around the country to spread his ashes.
Ashes puts a new spin on family and dysfunction with a story that is at once fresh and timelessly universal.
The program is free and open to the public. Refreshments will follow a Q&A and book signing.
Spend an afternoon filled with good reading and good fun.
For further information, please contact Maria Sanguinetti at msanguinetti@umassd.edu.
