Please join us for an online Zoom discussion of:
The Wide Wide Sea: Imperial Ambition, First Contact and the Fateful Final Voyage of Captain James Cook by Hampton Sides
“In this masterly history, Sides tracks the 18th-century English naval officer James Cook’s third and final voyage across the globe, painting a vivid and propulsive portrait that blends generations of scholarship with the firsthand accounts of European seafarers as well as the oral traditions of Indigenous Pacific islanders.”—The New York Times Book Review
The Waianae Public Library Book Club reads a variety of fiction and nonfiction titles selected yearly by the members. We meet on the 3rd Wednesdays online via Zoom at 6:00pm- 7:30pm. If you are interested in joining, please contact Sheryl Lynch at the library 808-697-7868 or email Sheryl Lynch.
