SUMMARY:International Book Group – Midaq Alley by Najīb Maḥfūẓ
DESCRIPTION:The International Book Group at West Falmouth Library is a volunteer-led group that meets on the first Wednesday of each month 3:45-5 p.m. Selections have either foreign settings or foreign authors\, usually both. New members are always welcome! Annual registration is requested to receive important communications about schedule or location changes. Meetings are both in-person and on Zoom. \nConsidered by many to be Mahfouz’s best novel\, Midaq Alley centers around the residents of one of the hustling\, teeming back alleys of Cairo. No other novel so vividly evokes the sights and sounds of the city. The universality and timelessness of this book cannot be denied. \n“Naguib Mahfouz virtually invented the novel as an Arab form. He excels at fusing deep emotion and soap opera.” —The New York Times Book Review \n“Mahfouz’s work is freshly nuanced and hauntingly lyrical. The Nobel Prize acknowledges the universal significance of his fiction.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review

All are welcome to join on Tuesday\, Jan. 13 at 1:30 p.m. Annual registration is requested to receive important communications about schedule or location changes. In this spellbinding portrait of obsession and flawed genius\, Michael Finkel gives us one of the most remarkable true-crime narratives of our times\, a riveting story of art\, theft\, love\, and an insatiable hunger to possess beauty at any cost. \n“Exhilarating…Finkel’s narrative thrills and electrifies\, until it all barrels toward inevitable capture\, two shocking betrayals\, and an astonishing conclusion.”\n—Adrienne Westenfeld\, Esquire \n“Thrilling…Finkel deftly unspools the story of Breitwieser’s improbable years-long adventure.”\n—Geoffrey Gagnon\, GQ

SUMMARY:International Book Group – The Green Road by Anne Enright

New members are always welcome! Annual registration is requested to receive important communications about schedule or location changes; register below. Meetings are both in-person and on Zoom. \nFrom internationally acclaimed author Anne Enright comes a shattering novel set in a small town on Ireland’s Atlantic coast. The Green Road is a tale of family and fracture\, compassion and selfishness―a book about the gaps in the human heart and how we strive to fill them. \n“A rich\, capacious story\, buoyed by tender humor…. The Green Road…offers a survey of Enright’s magnificent dexterity…. There’s nothing she can’t do with perspective\, tone and time.” – Ron Charles\, Washington Post \n“The story of an Irish family\, [The Green Road] is the kind of book that refuses quick characterization: it is sprawling and intimate\, anguished and hopeful\, elliptical and intensely observed.” – Louisa Thomas\, The New Yorker
