Saint Augustine once wrote, “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” This group is a space to assemble and share a love of literature. It’s a time in our busy lives to converse over coffee and tea about our favorite authors and books, what we like about literature, and what we don’t like! We gather in the Minister’s Office (in the upper level of the parish hall, 61 Dundas Street) on selected days at 2:00 pm.
If you wish to join our group please contact the parish office at 902.466.4270 or [email protected]
The next book up for discussion:
This Summer Will Be Different by Carley Fortune
Thurs, June 26th at 2:00 pm
Our book club meets again on Thursday, June 26th to discover a story of forbidden romance, secrets, and the strength of a friendship when tested.
Lucy is the tourist vacationing at a beach house on Prince Edward Island. Felix is the local who shows her a very good time. The only problem: Lucy doesn’t know he’s her best friend’s younger brother. Lucy and Felix’s chemistry is unreal, but the list of reasons why they need to stay away from each other is long, and they vow to never repeat that electric night.
It’s easier said than done.
Each year, Lucy escapes to PEI for a big breath of coastal air, fresh oysters and crisp vinho verde with her best friend, Bridget. Every visit begins with a long walk on the beach, beneath soaring red cliffs and a golden sun. And every visit, Lucy promises herself she won’t wind up in Felix’s bed. Again.
If Lucy can’t help being drawn to Felix, at least she’s always kept her heart out of it.
When Bridget suddenly flees Toronto a week before her wedding, Lucy drops everything to follow her to the island. Her mission is to help Bridget through her crisis and resist the one man she’s never been able to. But Felix’s sparkling eyes and flirty quips have been replaced with something new, and Lucy’s beginning to wonder just how safe her heart truly is. -- From the author's website
