Solheim’s Book Club meets monthly with the next meeting on Saturday March 18th at 10:30 am in the Navigage Room. We’ll be reading The Able McLaughlins by Margaret Wilson. CLICK HERE to see the list of the ten Bestselling Books of 1923.
The Book Group will continue to read throughout this Solheim Centennial year books which were published in 1923. The members are excited to get a sense of what the world was like back when Solheim was first founded, and to be part of this very special Centennial celebration.
In addition to the list of books distributed previously, we have also collected a list of the bestselling books of 1923 for ideas for upcoming reading and discussion.
The Book Group has selected for its March meeting The Able McLaughlins by Margaret Wilson. First published in 1923, this novel went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1924. From the dust jacket of the first edition:
“The Able McLaughlins, Scotch Covenanters, devoted to one another, deeply pious, but humor-loving and full of the emotion and sentiment which exists under the craggy Scotch exterior, are leaders in a pioneer Iowa community. Isobel McLaughlin, mother of ten, and Wully, the oldest son, are characters in whom one feels the spirit and intelligence and dauntless courage that carved out our Western States.”
The Book Group will meet on Saturday, March 18, 2023, at 10:30 a.m. at Solheim Senior Community in the Navigage Room. All are welcome. We were honored to welcome two new residents last month. Copies of the book will be circulating at Solheim. Please ask at the front desk.
Please join us as we celebrate Solheim’s 100 Years, and Happy Reading!
