Evening Book Club

Thursday, May 18, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

The Evening Book Club will meet outside the library (weather permitting) to discuss The Violin Conspiracy by Brendan Slocum.

Ray McMillian loves playing the violin more than anything, and nothing will stop him from pursuing his dream of becoming a professional musician. Not his mother, who thinks he should get a real job, not the fact that he can’t afford a high-caliber violin, not the racism inherent in the classical music world. And when he makes the startling discovery that his great-grandfather’s fiddle is actually a priceless Stradivarius, his star begins to rise. Then with the international Tchaikovsky Competition-the Olympics of classical music-fast approaching, his prized family heirloom is stolen. Ray is determined to get it back. But now his family and the descendants of the man who once enslaved Ray’s great-grandfather are each claiming that the violin belongs to them. With the odds stacked against him and the pressure mounting, will Ray ever see his beloved violin again?”

Please bring your own chair. If the weather is inclement, the discussion will take place on Zoom. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link.
