| Book Discussion Group- "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry" by Rachel Joyce |
 |
| Event Location: |
Barrington Library Meeting Room |

Amy Inglis 664-0193
director@barringtonlibrary.com |
|
Harold Fry--retired sales rep, beleaguered  husband, passive observer of
his own life--decides one morning to walk 600 miles across England to
save an old friend. It might not work, mind you, but that's hardly the
point. Setting off on the long
journey, he wears the wrong jacket, doesn't have a toothbrush, and
leaves his phone at home--in short, he is wholly, endearingly
unprepared. But as he travels, Harold finally has time to reflect on his
failings as a husband, father, and friend, and this helps him become
someone we (and, more important, his wife Maureen) can respect. After
walking for a while in Harold Fry's very human shoes, you might find
that your own fit a bit better.

When Henry Oades accepts an accountancy post in New Zealand, his wife,

Henry is an adventurer, Margaret is not. Their new home is rougher and
more rustic than they expected—and a single night of tragedy shatters
the family when the native Maori stage an uprising, kidnapping Margaret
and her children.
For months, Henry scours the surrounding
wilderness, until all hope is lost and his wife and children are
presumed dead. Grief-stricken, he books passage to California. There he
marries Nancy Foreland, a young widow with a new baby, and it seems
they’ve both found happiness in the midst of their mourning—until
Henry’s first wife and children show up, alive and having finally
escaped captivity.

An eccentric geology professor acquires an old  book and finds an ancient
parchment hidden within its pages. On it is a coded message that
reveals directions to a secret passageway that leads deep within the
earth's interior. The professor immediately sets off on a daring journey
to Iceland, where he and his companions enter into an extinct volcano
and make their way to the center of the earth. They soon find a strange
underground world where the laws of science are turned upside down. They
discover huge caverns, luminous rocks, a subterranean sea, primitive
forests, and fearsome prehistoric creatures that time had forgot. The
travelers encounter one stirring adventure after another as they explore
deep within the bowels of the earth.

Oney Judge Staines, according to the  Constitution, was only three-fifths
of a person. To her masters, George and Martha Washington, she was
merely "the girl.” All she wanted was the freedom to control her own
actions, but her account of escaping the Executive Mansion in
Philadelphia, fleeing north and establishing a life in New Hampshire is
not a typical runaway story. Portrayed by Gwendolyn Quezaire-Presutti,
Oney’s tale provides an alternative perspective on the new nation’s
social, political and economic development, from one whose personal
experience so contradicted the promise of the principles embodied in the
nation’s founding documents.
Program Sponsored by a Grant from the New Hampshire Humanities Council.
Limited Seating, Come early.

On New Year's Day, 2005, David Shaw traveled  halfway around the world on a journey that took him to a steep crater in
the Kalahari Desert of South Africa, a site known as Bushman's Hole.
His destination was nearly 900 feet below the surface.
On
January 8th he descended into the water. About fifteen feet below the
surface was a fissure in the bottom of the basin, barely wide enough to
admit him. He slipped through the opening and disappeared from sight,
leaving behind the world of light and life.
Then, a
second diver descended through the same crack in the stone. This was Don
Shirley, Shaw's friend, and one of the few people in the world
qualified to follow where Shaw was about to go. In the community of
extreme scuba diving, Don Shirley was a master among masters.
Twenty-five
minutes later, one of the men was dead. The other was in mortal peril,
and would spend the next 10 hours struggling to survive, existing
literally from breath to breath.
What happened that day is the stuff of nightmarish drama, but Diving into Darkness is also a compelling human story of friendship, heroism, ambition, and of coming to terms with loss and tragedy.

Steeped in Maine island lore, this century-spanning double  mystery
pits a renegade fishing community against an unhappy child-bride of the
1820s, a defiant twenty-first-century teen, and a hard-drinking
botanist—Dr. Gil Hodges—who escapes to the island of Matinicus to avoid a
crazed ex-lover and verify a rumored 22 species of wild orchid only to
find himself hounded by the ghost of a child some 200 years dead.
If Gil's hoping for peace and quiet, he's clearly come to the
wrong place. Generations of infighting among loose-knit lobstering clans
have left them openly hostile to outsiders. When a beautiful,
bed-hopping stranger sails into the harbor, old resentments re-ignite
and people begin to die—their murders linked, through centuries of
violence, to a diary whose secrets threaten to tear the island apart.
Sailor and novelist Darcy Scott grew up in southern
Connecticut and graduated summa cum laude from Smith College. Over the  years she's worked as a meat wrapper, symphony orchestra marketing
director, electronics assembler, property manager, burger flipper,
bookkeeper, telephone solicitor, freelance writer, waitress, associate
magazine publisher, sous chef, and marine industry publicist—all of it
proving excellent grist for the authorial mill.
An experienced ocean cruiser who lives much of the year on her sailboat
in Maine, Darcy has sailed to Grenada and back on a whim, island-hopped
through the Caribbean, and been struck by lightning in the middle of the
Gulf Stream. Her appreciation of the history and rugged beauty of
Maine's sparsely populated out-islands serves as the inspiration for Matinicus

"Hang her!” cries the raucous spectator. In 1692, nineteen people were
executed in Salem and hundreds imprisoned during a witch hunt we still
discuss today. Robin DeRosa explains that when Salem tells its witch
stories, history, tourism, and performance collide, and "truth,” both
moral and macabre, vies with spooky thrills for its authentic place in
history.
Program Sponsored by the New Hampshire Humanities Council.
Limited Seating...Come early for a good spot!
