For the month of October, the Hawaii State Library Book Group will discuss Commonwealth by Ann Patchett.

In what veteran bestselling writer Ann Patchett calls her most personal book to date, a kiss at a party leads to an affair, divorce, and the death of a child as the lives of six stepsiblings are affected over the course of fifty years.

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.
