Book Discussion-The Story of a Marriage
A microcosm of changing times during life in the 50’s, as seen through the life and marriage of Pearlie Cook.
In the summer of ' 53, the Rosenbergs were executed, a cease-fire was reached in Korea and the first stirrings of desegregation were taking place in public schools in the south. Pearlie has devoted herself to maintaining a protective bubble around her husband, Holland. The novel takes as its main subject the unbridgeable, quite possibly incomprehensible distances that separate human beings: “Our husbands, our wives...we think we know them. But what we love turns out to be a poor translation we ourselves have made, from a language we barely know.”
This slim little gem of a book is thought-provoking, complex and exquisitely written– its brevity belies its emotional and psychological depth. Linda Judenberg will moderate. Refreshments, compliments of The Friends, will be served. Copies of the book are available at the Circulation Desk.
Date: Friday, Oct. 16th
