About this event
BMAV's newest SIG reads fiction and nonfiction and discusses them in a social, informal setting. The host and moderator switches each month. This month we are reading Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon. Frozen River is a 2023 historical fiction thriller that follows Martha, an 18th century midwife in Maine, as she leverages her standing as a medical professional to investigate two crimes, a murder and a rape. Themes include puritan shame, culture and gender oppression, the courtroom as a theatrical spectacle, and familial loyalty in the face of suspicion.
We will meet in Barbara Diamant's building on Hampden Lane.
Please only RSVP if you plan to read the books and attend as space is limited.
From 4-5 pm the focus will be on the book, and from 5-5:30, socializing. Sign up early as space is limited. If you can't make it, contact SIG lead Andy Brown to be added to the group's email list and learn about the location and selection next month.
