Are you interested in joining a book club but don't have much time? Check out the Short Book Club at Toronto Public Library's Parliament Street branch. We meet on the last Wednesday of each month to discuss books that are 250 pages or less.
In May we will be discussing Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf. Read the book and then join us for the discussion!
Copies of the book will be available for pickup in branch in print, large print and audiobook formats. Also available as an eBook and eAudiobook through Libby/OverDrive.
Summary: In this vivid portrait of a single day in a woman's life, Mrs. Clarissa Dalloway is preoccupied with the last-minute details of preparation for a party while in her mind she is something much more than a perfect society hostess. As she readies her house for friends and neighbors, she is flooded with remembrances of the past--the passionate loves of her carefree youth, her practical choice of husband, and the approach and retreat of war. And, met with the realities of the present, Clarissa reexamines the choices that brought her there, hesitantly looking ahead to the unfamiliar work of growing old.
