New Novels
with Peggy Volock
IN-PERSON at SCHOONER ESTATES
Sometimes culture or environment is so central to a story that it almost becomes one of the characters. In this course we will discuss four modern novels: Lady Tan’s Circle of Women by Lisa See, The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by James McBride, Familia by Lauren E. Rico, and Prophet Song by Paul Lynch. Classes will meet every two weeks, so we have time to read the novels.
All books are available at any public library.
Before retiring Peggy taught life sciences at Central Maine Community College, Bangor High School, and Central High School. Before her teaching career, she worked in several clinical labs. Now she is a part time library assistant.
