August is a non-fiction month for the Arroyo Book Club and this time around we’ll be reading The Hare with Amber Eyes by Edmund De Waal. To quote from the book's description:
This fascinating book traces the parallel stories of nineteenth-century art patron Charles Ephrussi and his unique collection of 360 miniature netsuke Japanese ivory carvings, documenting Ephrussi's relationship with Marcel Proust and the impact of the Holocaust on his cosmopolitan family.
I’ll be ordering copies and putting them on the shelf under the window by the Circulation Desk (where I have always put them). You may also order a copy for yourself directly by following this link
We will be meeting to discuss the book on August 27 at 3:00. We will again be enjoying a hybrid meeting so you may choose to attend either in person or virtually. If you’d like to attend via Zoom email ayosco@lapl.org so I can add you to the link list.
