The next meeting of the Fulshear Book Club will take place next Monday, March 15, at the Bob Lutts Fulshear/Simonton Branch Library.
The meeting will begin at noon in the library’s meeting room.
The book to be discussed is “Liberating Paris, written by Linda Bloodworth Thomason.
Paris, Arkansas, is a small town undisturbed by progress and the outside world for many years. Its morals and ideals have remained the same and the lives of its townspeople have been unremarkably content.
Six of its residents, who have been friends since high school and are now entering their 40s, form the nucleus of the story. When their college-age children begin to marry, old, long-lost flames re-enter the picture, and the balance of their stable existence is shaken.
As a national mega-retailer superstore prepares to break ground in town, more change is in the wind, and the lifelong friends must decide the values most important to them, and what needs to be changed in the name of progress. Is the loss of their small-town atmosphere and the character of their Main Street – along with the memories and lessons learned there – too great a price to pay for the future of their children and grandchildren?
Thomason is an award-winning television writer and producer, whose credits include “Designing Women” and “M*A*S*H.”
Anyone interested in joining the literary review club is invited to attend and bring a lunch, if desired.
