This month's selection is Lady Tan's Circle of Women by Lisa See. According to Confucius, "an educated woman is a worthless woman," but Tan Yunxian is being raised by her grandparents to be of use. Her grandmother is one of only a handful of female doctors in China, and she teaches Yunxian the pillars of Chinese medicine, the Four Examinations—looking, listening, touching, and asking—something a man can never do with a female patient. Inspired by the true story of Tan Yunxian, this is a captivating story of women helping other women. It is also a triumphant reimagining of the life of a woman who was remarkable in the Ming dynasty and would be considered remarkable today.

Monthly meeting of the Library Board. Please find the Agenda posted on our website and on the Town's website.
This month's selection is Death in Venice by Thomas Mann. It is the story of Gustav von Aschenbach, a successful but aging writer who follows his wanderlust to Venice in search of spiritual fulfillment that instead leads to his erotic doom. In the decaying city, besieged by an unnamed epidemic, he becomes obsessed with an exquisite Polish boy, Tadzio. "It is a story of the voluptuousness of doom," Mann wrote. "But the problem I had especially in mind was that of the artist's dignity."

This month's selection is The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese. Spanning the years 1900 to 1977, The Covenant of Water is set in Kerala, on India’s Malabar Coast, and follows three generations of a family that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning—and in Kerala, water is everywhere. At the turn of the century, a twelve-year-old girl from Kerala's Christian community, grieving the death of her father, is sent by boat to her wedding, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time. From this unforgettable new beginning, the young girl—and future matriarch, Big Ammachi—will witness unthinkable changes over the span of her extraordinary life, full of joy and triumph as well as hardship and loss, her faith and love the only constants.

As a descendant of two Holocaust survivors, Redding's Renee Bronner Pessin will mark this International Holocaust Rememberance Day (January 27) by telling the story of her parents, Helen and Sam Bronner, who met while imprisoned in a concentration camp during the atrocities of the Holocaust. Helen was the only survivor of more than 50 members of her immediate and extended family in Poland, while Sam and one brother were the only survivors of his immediate family.
The couple became separated during the war, but they eventually found each other following liberation. Soon after, Helen and Sam got married and immigrated to the United States to start a new life in Brooklyn, New York.
Renee shares the story of her parents through excerpts of her mother's video testimony to the Shoah Foundation and through family pictures that survived the horrors of the Holocaust. Renee feels it is more urgent than ever to share their story, especially to community listeners, to ensure that history does not repeat itself.
Renee Bonner Pessin moved to Redding over 7 years ago, and she and her husband love Redding life, especially since her daughters and their families are close by in Ridgefield and Bethel! Over the years, Renee has worked as a registered nurse, editorial associate for scientific journals, and for over 20 years, as a freelance biomedical grant and manuscript editor.

This month's selection is The House of Eve by Sadeqa Johnson. 1950s Philadelphia: fifteen-year-old Ruby Pearsall is on track to becoming the first in her family to attend college, in spite of having a mother more interested in keeping a man than raising a daughter. But a taboo love affair threatens to pull her back down into the poverty and desperation that has been passed on to her like a birthright.
Eleanor Quarles arrives in Washington, DC, with ambition and secrets. When she meets the handsome William Pride at Howard University, they fall madly in love. But William hails from one of DC’s elite wealthy Black families, and his parents don’t let just anyone into their fold. Eleanor hopes that a baby will make her finally feel at home in William’s family and grant her the life she’s been searching for. But having a baby—and fitting in—is easier said than done.
With their stories colliding in the most unexpected of ways, Ruby and Eleanor will both make decisions that shape the trajectory of their lives.
