For the Month of June, the HSL Book Group will discuss The Wife by Meg Wolitzer.

The basis for the Oscar nominated film starring Glenn Close, The Wife centers on world-famous novelist Joe, his wife Joan, and the secret they’ve kept for decades. The novel opens just as Joe is about to receive a prestigious international award, prompting Joan to reflect on the sacrifices she’s made in order to achieve the life she thought she wanted.

The HSL Book Group meets on the third Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Language, Literature, and History Section. New members are always welcome. No registration necessary.

Inquiries about the Hawaii State Library Book Group can be directed to hslbookgroup@gmail.com or (808) 586-3499.

In July, the book club will meet on Wednesday, July 10th from 2-3 pm in the reference area of the Language, Literature and History Section to discuss Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann. Call number: 976.60049 Gr.

In the 1920s, members of Oklahoma’s Osage Indian nation were the world’s richest people per capita, for oil had been discovered beneath their land. Then they began dying mysteriously in what proved to be a test for the newly formed FBI. A story both chilling and shameful; from author of the No. 1 New York Times best-selling The Lost City of Z.

This book club typically meets on the first Wednesday of the month and new members are always welcome. No registration necessary. Inquiries can be directed to booksmartbookclub@gmail.com or 808-586-3499.
