The Literary Club of Lynbrook

Meets on the first Monday of every month. The next meeting will be held on Monday, November 4, 2009 at 1pm.

Yates's debut 1961 novel revealed a growing and present malaise about middle-class existence as seen through the eyes of protagonists Frank and April. Believing themselves a cut above the rest of their neighbors and friends, the two set their sights upon a scheme to move to France and live a nontraditional life. However, much like the illusion of the white picket fence home, their dreams are not enough to stave off the reality of their unhappy life.

The Evening Book Club of Lynbrook

Meets on the first Wednesday of each month. The next meeting will be Wednesday, November 2, 2009 at 7:30pm.

When she arrived in France, she was a gawky, six-foot-two, wide-eyed girl from Pasadena, unable to cook; or, for that matter, speak French. Despite this inauspicious beginning, 32-year-old Julia Child was to transform herself into a Gallic cooking genius. In this memoir, completed by her grandnephew after her 2004 death, Child reminisces about her culinary training, her life in France, and her beloved husband, Paul.
