<p>Come join the Daytime Book Club as we discuss this month's book! New members are always welcome (we love meeting new people!). Registration is appreciated but not required.</p> <p>This month we will discuss <i></i><a href="https://durhamcounty.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S217C27330"><em>To the Lighthouse</em> by Virginia Woolf</a>. The description for the book is below:<br /> "<em>To the Lighthouse</em> is made up of three powerfully charged visions into the life of the Ramsay family living in a summer house off the rocky coast of Scotland. There's the serene and maternal Mrs. Ramsay, the tragic yet absurd Mr. Ramsay, their eight children, and assorted holiday guests. With the lighthouse excursion postponed, Woolf shows the small joys and quiet tragedies of everyday life that seemingly could go on forever.</p> <p>But as time winds its way through their lives, the Ramsays face, alone and together, the greatest of human challenges and its greatest triumph--the human capacity for change.</p> <p>A moving portrait in miniature of family life, <em>To the Lighthouse</em> also has profoundly universal implications, giving language to the silent space that separates people and the space that they transgress to reach each other."</p> <p>We look forward to seeing you all soon!</p> <hr /> <p>Interested in attending a future Daytime Book Club meeting?
