The Gilded Quill Book Club: The Woman in White
Details
Mark your calendars for our August discussion of *The Woman in White" by Wilkie Collins!
ABOUT THE BOOK
*The Woman in White* (1859) blends Gothic suspense, psychological intrigue, and social critique, following a young drawing master whose chance encounter with a mysterious woman dressed entirely in white draws him into a labyrinth of deception, hidden identities, and dangerous secrets.
ABOUT THE CLUB
Our club is open to all lovers of literature from the 18th- and 19th-centuries (global literature). We generally meet on the last Sunday of the month, at 5:30pm at Shutesbury Athletic Club, but there is a Zoom link for those who wish to join virtually.
Follow our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/gildedquill) to vote in polls and get updates.
Here are some useful details for all meetings:
This is a casual, fun meet-up for lovers of literature from the periods. There are no requirements to join the group, except that you love to read and discuss these works! Anyone who has read at least some of the novel is invited to participate.
We meet in the bar area of the Shutesbury Athletic Club. The venue serves as a bar and also as a community center. Some members may choose to enjoy a libation, while others may not. The venue does sell snacks (chips, jerky, and candy). Feel free to bring snacks to share, if you feel moved to do so. There are no dietary guidelines for snacks; members are welcome to bring what they like (if they decide to bring anything at all). If snacks are homemade, then please disclose the ingredients in case of allergies.
This is a group that discusses literature. No conversations concerning religion or politics (or related topics) are allowed, unless clearly pertinent to the discussion of the works and unpacked within that context.
We respect each other in this group. No discrimination or bullying behaviors of any kind are tolerated. Together, we create a safe space to share ideas about literature and to build a friendly, welcoming community.
