Critics have claimed that the selection for the November 15, 7:00 p.m. meeting of Heritage’s women’s book club (aka Babes with Books) is historical fiction at its finest – The Engineer’s Wife, by Tracey Emerson Wood. Come join the discussion in the Heritage Room as we consider the often-dismissed importance of Emily Roebling, the wife of the engineer credited with building not only Cincinnati’s Roebling Bridge that spans the Ohio River downtown, but also the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. This novel reveals a different time in our history and the different expectations for woman of the late 1800s. We’ve come a long way, baby, from those bloomers – thanks to women like the engineer’s wife!
Future gathering dates and reads are currently as follows:
December 20 – Holiday Party (starts at 6:30 p.m.) and Movie – Jules (starts at 7:00 p.m.)
January 17 – The Story of Edgar Sawtell, by David Wroblewski (start this one early, it is lengthy and there are limited copies at the library)
February 21 – Remarkably Bright Creatures, by Shelby Van Pelt
March 20 – Hello Beautiful, by Ann Napolitano
April 17 – The Maid, by Nita Prose
All meetings are held from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Heritage Room, unless otherwise announced.
All women (be they members, or friends) are always invited to any BWB meeting – whether they have read the book or not. Unless otherwise announced, the meetings’ book selections are available on hold for the Heritage Book Club at the Anderson Township branch of the Hamilton County library approximately a month in advance.
