The Brooks-Shelf: A Geraldine Brooks Book Discussion Group

Geraldine Brooks is coming to Glastonbury in September!  To celebrate, we will be discussing her incredible collection of works through a series of book discussions.  Limited copies of the current selection will be available at the Lending Desk. Registration is not required; light refreshments will be served.

This week we're reading: "The Secret Chord"

Peeling away the myth to bring the Old Testament's King David to life in Second Iron Age Israel, Brooks traces the arc of his journey from obscurity to fame, from shepherd to soldier, from hero to traitor, from beloved king to murderous despot and into his remorseful and diminished dotage.
