Book Club

The readers at Christ Church Geneva have joined forces with the readers of St. Peter's Church in Ashtabula for a monthly book club. We read a variety of novels that can lead to discussions about life lessons. The books covered are mostly secular.  Some notable past favorites are Kristen Hannah's "The Nightingale" and Karen White's " The Sound of Glass," as well as Delia Owens' "Where the Crawdads Sing."

The group meets at 4 PM on the first Sunday of each month in our parish hall. However, in October we go out to eat to celebrate the club's anniversary! You do not have to be a member of either church to join, but we do ask that only those ages 16 and older participate as some books may contain mature themes. There are refreshments at each meeting. For more information, please contact Sandy Mitchell Pavick at 440-855-8559 or email us at christchurchgeneva@gmail.com

May 4th – "Night Watchman" by Louise Erdrich

The Night Watchman.jpg

A majestic, polyphonic novel about a community's efforts to halt the proposed displacement and elimination of several Native American tribes in the 1950s, rendered with dexterity and imagination.

The Night Watchman is a novel by Louise Erdrich first published on March 3, 2020, by HarperCollins. The novel is set in the 1950s. This is Erdrich's sixth standalone novel following Future Home of the Living God. 

Synopsis

Based on events from the life of Erdrich's grandfather, The Night Watchman is about tribal chairman Thomas Wazhashk's efforts to fight against the push for Indian termination in 1953, which would have ignored prior U.S.-Native American treaties and resulted in the dispossession of Native American lands.

Erdrich also tells a story about a variety of other characters in and involved with the tribe. Wood Mountain is an aspiring boxer while Patrice is an young woman who wants to fulfill her family obligations but also has other ambitions.
