October Book Club
2021-10-20 19:00 - 21:00 | Clubhouse
Our next Book Club meeting will take place on Wednesday October 20, 2021 at 7:00 p.m. We will be reading The Round House by Louise Erdrich and will meet on the deck of the Clubhouse. If the weather is bad, we will meet inside.
Please join us for the discussion. We have no rules except to enjoy discussing books of interest with our neighbors!

As described by Amazon:

The Round House won the National Book Award for fiction.
One of the most revered novelists of our time—a brilliant chronicler of Native-American life—Louise Erdrich returns to the territory of her bestselling, Pulitzer Prize finalist The Plague of Doves with The Round House, transporting readers to the Ojibwe reservation in North Dakota. It is an exquisitely told story of a boy on the cusp of manhood who seeks justice and understanding in the wake of a terrible crime that upends and forever transforms his family.
Riveting and suspenseful, arguably the most accessible novel to date from the creator of Love Medicine, The Beet Queen, and The Bingo Palace, Erdrich’s The Round House is a page-turning masterpiece of literary fiction—at once a powerful coming-of-age story, a mystery, and a tender, moving novel of family, history, and culture.

Everyone is invited to join the discussions. Please contact Susan Magazine via email or phone (301-213-1799) if you would like to join the group.

September Book Club Meeting
2021-09-13 19:00 - 21:00 | Clubhouse
Our next Book Club meeting will take place on September 13, 2021 at 7:00 p.m. We will be reading Upstairs at the White House by J.B. West and will meet on the deck of the Clubhouse. If the weather is bad, we will meet inside.
Please join us for the discussion. We have no rules except to enjoy discussing books of interest with our neighbors!

In this New York Times bestseller, the White House chief usher for nearly three decades offers a behind-the-scenes look at America’s first families.
J. B. West, chief usher of the White House, directed the operations and maintenance of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue—and coordinated its daily life—at the request of the president and his family. He directed state functions; planned parties, weddings and funerals, gardens and playgrounds, and extensive renovations; and, with a large staff, supervised every activity in the presidential home. For twenty-eight years, first as assistant to the chief usher, then as chief usher, he witnessed national crises and triumphs, and interacted daily with six consecutive presidents and first ladies, as well as their parents, children and grandchildren, and houseguests—including friends, relatives, and heads of state.
J. B. West, whom Jackie Kennedy called “one of the most extraordinary men I have ever met,” provides an absorbing, one-of-a-kind history of life among the first ladies. Alive with anecdotes ranging from Eleanor Roosevelt’s fascinating political strategies to Jackie Kennedy’s tragic loss and the personal struggles of Pat Nixon, Upstairs at the White House is a rich account of a slice of American history that usually remains behind closed doors.
Everyone is invited to join the discussions. Please contact Susan Magazine via email or phone (301-213-1799) if you would like to join the group.

Praise for The Last Days of Night:
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST
Winner of The American Library Association’s Reading List Council’s Prize for Best Historical Fiction
“A fascinating portrait of American inventors . . . Moore crafts a compelling narrative out of [Paul] Cravath’s cunning legal maneuvers and [Nikola] Tesla’s world-changing tinkering, while a story line on opera singer Agnes Huntington has the mysterious glamour of The Great Gatsby. . . . Moore weaves a complex web. . . . He conjures Gilded Age New York City so vividly, it feels like only yesterday.”—Entertainment Weekly
“A model of superior historical fiction . . . Graham Moore digs deep into long-forgotten facts to give us an exciting, sometimes astonishing story of two geniuses locked in a brutal battle to change the world. . . . [A] brilliant journey into the past.”—The Washington Post

FCF Book Club
2021-05-10 19:00 - 21:00 | Clubhouse
DATE CHANGE – The next Fishing Creek Farm Book Club discussion will be Monday, May 10, 2021 at 7:00 p.m. We hope to have the meeting on the deck at the club house. If the weather is bad, we will meet remotely.

Please join us for the discussion. We have no rules except to enjoy discussing books of interest with our neighbors!

The book we have selected is The Lions of Fifth Avenue: A Novel by Fiona Davis.

Google Books writes:

“A Good Morning America Book Club Pick and a New York Times bestseller!

“A page-turner for booklovers everywhere! . . . A story of family ties, their lost dreams, and the redemption that comes from discovering truth.”—Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of The Shoemaker’s Wife
In New York Times bestselling author Fiona Davis’s latest historical novel, a series of book thefts roils the iconic New York Public Library, leaving two generations of strong-willed women to pick up the pieces.
It’s 1913, and on the surface, Laura Lyons couldn’t ask for more out of life—her husband is the superintendent of the New York Public Library, allowing their family to live in an apartment within the grand building, and they are blessed with two children. But headstrong, passionate Laura wants more, and when she takes a leap of faith and applies to the Columbia Journalism School, her world is cracked wide open. As her studies take her all over the city, she is drawn to Greenwich Village’s new bohemia, where she discovers the Heterodoxy Club—a radical, all-female group in which women are encouraged to loudly share their opinions on suffrage, birth control, and women’s rights. Soon, Laura finds herself questioning her traditional role as wife and mother. And when valuable books are stolen back at the library, threatening the home and institution she loves, she’s forced to confront her shifting priorities head on . . . and may just lose everything in the process.”

FCF Book Club
2021-03-31 19:00 - 21:00 | Online
The next meeting of Fishing Creek Farm Book Club will be Wednesday, March 31 at 7PM. The meeting will be virtual and the book we will discuss is “A Woman of No Importance” by Sonia Purnell. A review and joining information for the discussion are posted below. Everyone is invited. Contact Susan Magazine at 301-213-1799 or Susan@magazinefamily.org to join or learn more about the group.

A review by NPR, Genevieve Valentine
Hardcover, 352 pages
It sounds like propaganda meant to misdirect WWII Germans: a lone foreigner running riot in occupied France, everywhere at once, unrecognizable despite a trademark gait, able to bewitch information out of anyone, single-handedly stirring up resistance — and then vanishing.
The German secret police couldn’t even be sure what country she was from. It would be easy to believe the Limping Lady wasn’t real.
But she was.
Virginia Hall was one of the earliest Special Operations Executive agents Britain sent into occupied France to stir up resistance against the Nazi/Vichy regime, where she laid critical groundwork for an organized Resistance in southern France — and later led a cell herself. She isn’t totally unknown; there have been other biographies, as well as a CIA training hall named in her honor and even a Drunk History sketch. But Sonia Purnell’s A Woman of No Importance is a gripping take, tracing Hall’s life in the context of hurdles she faced from allies — as much as from enemies.
She was an unlikely choice for SOE field work; she was a woman, she was American, and she had a disability (a hunting accident left her with a wooden leg she called Cuthbert) that made her easy to identify. But the speedy Nazi takeover of Europe was more alarming than the usual prejudices, and in 1940 she was in France with only the barest brief — build a Resistance, no matter what.

FCF February Book Club - The Vanishing Half
2021-02-24 19:00 - 21:00 | Online
Our next meeting will be February 24, 2021 at 7PM. Please mark your calendars. The link to the virtual meeting is posted below. Everyone is invited to join the discussions. Please contact Susan Magazine via email or phone (301-213-1799) if you would like to join.
The book for discussion is “The Vanishing Half” by Brit Bennett.

Google Books has the following description:
“The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it’s not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it’s everything: their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, even separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation, when their own daughters’ storylines intersect?”
