Book Club’s next read is Suzanne and Gertrude a rare story about Suzanne, a human, and Gertrude, a donkey, by Jeb Loy Nichols, an American singer and songwriter. “I write because there are things I can’t sing. I write because I watch,” says Jeb Loy Nichols, an internationally acclaimed musician and artist, about his literary art. In this unforgettable novel, Suzanne has arranged her life to suit her solitariness, living quietly on her untended hill farm. Her days are a word-shy negotiation, caught between indifference and uncertainty. Into this world comes Gertrude, a wandering donkey. Together they form an unlikely alliance; each protecting the solitude of the other. Book Club is planning to meet Monday, November 1 at 3pm at one of our church members’ home. Please contact the church office for more information.
