New Lebanon Book Group

The New Lebanon Book Group will discuss the novel To The End of the Land by David Grossman on Sunday, December 4, at 11 am at the New Lebanon Library. Newcomers are welcome.
In a review in the New York Times Colim Toibin said, “It is a testament to Grossman’s novelistic talent, indeed perhaps his genius, that To the End of the Land manages to create and dramatize a world that gives both the reality and the echo their full due. He weaves the essences of private life into the tapestry of history with deliberate and delicate skill; he has created a panorama of breathtaking emotional force, a masterpiece of pacing, of dedicated storytelling, with characters whose lives are etched with extraordinary, vivid detail. While his novel has the vast sweep of pure tragedy, it is also at times playful and utterly engrossing; it is filled with original and unexpected detail about domestic life, about the shapes and shadows that surround love and memory and about the sharp and desperate edges of loss and fear.”
