Arroyo Book Club Pick for March…

The March Arroyo Book Club book is Tinkers by Paul Harding.  This is a Pulitzer winning title about (to quote from the book jacket) 
Book Jacket for: TinkersAn old man lies dying. Propped up in his living room and surrounded by his children and grandchildren, George Washington Crosby drifts in and out of consciousness, back to the wonder and pain of his impoverished childhood in Maine. As the clock repairers time winds down, his memories intertwine with those of his father, an epileptic, itinerant peddler and his grandfather, a Methodist preacher beset by madness. At once heartbreaking and life affirming, "Tinkers" is an elegiac meditation on love, loss, illness, faith, and the fierce beauty of nature.
Stop by the library for a copy and plan to join us on March 22 at 3:00 for discussion.
