Thursday Night Book Club: How the Penguins Saved Veronica

Come talk books with other bibliophiles! This book group will meet on the fourth Thursday of the month. Limited copies of the current selection will be available at the Lending Desk. Registration is not required.

This month we will be reading "How the Penguins Saved Veronica" by Hazel Prior.

Eighty-five-year-old Veronica McCreedy, estranged from her family and searching for a meaningful way to leave her fortune, becomes captivated by a documentary about penguins in Antarctica and insists on visiting the research team. There, she persuades the reluctant scientists to rescue an orphaned penguin, whose presence begins to soften her guarded heart. When her grandson Patrick joins her in Antarctica for a final attempt at connection, Veronica, Patrick, and the team discover the true meaning of family, love, and connection.
