Evening Book Club

This month the Book Club will be discussing The Wager: a tale of shipwreck, mutiny and murder by David Grann.

Newcomers are welcome to attend the book club. No registration is necessary and you may attend as many or as few meetings as you like.  The group is moderated by a librarian. Copies of the book are available upon request at the front desk starting one month before the meeting.  

David Grann's book, The Wager, is about an 18th century British warship that wrecked on an island after passing through the treacherous waters of Cape Horn. The castaways faced terrible conditions and starvation, and descended into chaos, including cannibalism and mutiny. 81 sailors escaped the island on a makeshift boat, and sailed nearly 3000 miles to Brazil. Only 29 survived. Grann is also the author of Killers of the Flower Moon.
