Virtual History Book Club: The Hour of the Witch by Chris Bohjalian

*Virtual History Book Club: The Hour of the Witch by Chris Bohjalian* *Wednesday August 31 at 7 pm* *Via Zoom* *The author will be joining us!* <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-history-book-club-the-hour-of-the-witc…> *Register here to receive the login information <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-history-book-club-the-hour-of-the-witc…>* About this event 'Boston, 1662. Mary Deerfield is twenty-four-years-old. Her skin is porcelain, her eyes delft blue, and in England she might have had many suitors. But here in the New World, amid this community of saints, Mary is the second wife of Thomas Deerfield, a man as cruel as he is powerful. When Thomas, prone to drunken rage, drives a three-tined fork into the back of Mary's hand, she resolves that she must divorce him to save her life. But in a world where every neighbor is watching for signs of the devil, a woman like Mary--a woman who harbors secret desires and finds it difficult to tolerate the brazen hypocrisy of so many men in the colony--soon becomes herself the object of suspicion and rumor. When tainted objects are discovered buried in Mary's garden, when a boy she has treated with herbs and simples dies, and when their servant girl runs screaming in fright from her home, Mary must fight to not only escape her marriage, but also the gallows. A twisting, tightly plotted novel of historical suspense from one of our greatest storytellers, Hour of the Witch is a timely and terrifying story of socially sanctioned brutality and the original American witch hunt" Online Events <https://www.eventbrite.com/d/online/events/> Online Parties <https://www.eventbrite.com/d/online/parties/> Online Community Parties <https://www.eventbrite.com/d/online/community--parties/> #book_club <https://www.eventbrite.com/d/online/%23book_club/> #chris_bohjalian <https://www.eventbrite.com/d/online/%23chris_bohjalian/> #history_book_club <https://www.eventbrite.com/d/online/%23history_book_club/> #hour_of_the_witch <https://www.eventbrite.com/d/online/%23hour_of_the_witch/>

SHAC Art of Reading Book Club: The Picture of Dorian Gray

*SHAC Art of Reading Book Club: The Picture of Dorian GrayWednesday August 25 at 7 pm* *Via Zoom* *Free!* *Register Here to Receive the Login <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-art-of-reading-book-club-presented-by-shak…>* About the Book Club The saying goes “A picture is worth a thousand words" so let’s explore that! Get copies of our art themed selections from your local library or favorite bookstore and then spend a cozy and casual evening discussing them virtually. Free and open to all art and book lovers regardless of location. Led by Margaret Reardon <http://www.margaretreardonmarketing.com> About this Month's Book "Wilde’s only novel, first published in 1890, is a brilliantly designed puzzle, intended to tease conventional minds with its exploration of the myriad interrelationships between art, life and consequence. From its provocative Preface, challenging the reader to belief in ‘art for art’s sake’, to its sensational conclusion, the story self-consciously experiments with the notion of sin as an element of design. Yet Wilde himself underestimated the consequences of his experiment, and its capacity to outrage the Victorian establishment. Its words returned to haunt him in his court appearances in 1895, and he later recalled the ‘note of doom’ which runs like ‘a purple thread’ through its carefully crafted prose. About the Organization <https://www.shakerartscouncil.org/>Shaker Arts Council (SHAC) <https://www.shakerartscouncil.org> is a volunteer nonprofit organization whose mission is to enrich the cultural fabric of Shaker Heights OH and the greater arts community. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, SHAC established Stay-in-Place Productions. This program offers theatrical and musical productions as well as a wide variety of art classes and webinars. SHAC is happy to be adding the Art of Reading Book Club.
