Henry James and Cynthia Ozick

VENTRESS LIBRARY CLASSIC BOOK GROUP TO DISCUSS THE AMBASSADORS BY HENRY JAMES AND FOREIGN BODIES BY CYNTHIA OZICK ON TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 2012 FROM 4:30-6

The Ventress Memorial Library in Marshfield hosts an ongoing book discussion group. The next session will meet on Tuesday, April 17, 2012 from 4:30-6:00 in the library's Historical Room. We are doing a pairing this time. . .because we read and enjoyed Edith Wharton, we thought we would read something by her friend and fellow writer Henry James. Then, in light of the success of a past pairing of Pearl Buck and a modern novel we thought we would pair Henry James' "The Ambassadors" with the 2011 novel by Cynthia Ozick, "Foreign Bodies," which is retelling of James story in a photographic negative. Sign up in advance to reserve a seat, or just come on the day to listen. The program is free and open to the public. New members are always welcome. If a copy of the book is needed, contact reference librarian Chris Woods to place them on hold through OCLN. Light refreshments will be served. For more information please call the library at 781-834-5535 or visit www.ventresslibrary.org
