The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon
The HP Book Club will meet on Friday, October 24, at 2:30 p.m. in the Activity Center to discuss The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon. This novel of historical fiction, set in 1789 Maine, is centered on midwife Martha Ballard, who is called on to examine the body of a man found frozen in the river. Her investigation uncovers a web of secrets and the possible involvement of powerful men in her small tight-knit community. One reviewer described the book as “a twisty mystery with an intriguing protagonist and rich period detail.” Chris Carlson will lead the discussion.
Club meetings are open to all residents who read the book. If you wish to be added to the HP Book Club mailing list, please email me.
