Book Club

For Book Club this month, the group is reading Any Bitter Thing by Monica Wood. Whether you read the book or not, you’re welcome to join the Club. The next Book Club will meet at the North Gorham Public Library on Monday, January 27 from 11:00 to noon.

Any Bitter Thing tells the story of Lizzy Mitchell, a 30-year-old guidance counselor now working back in her hometown; and Father Mike, Lizzy’s beloved uncle, a Catholic priest who raised her until she was nine years old.  Their idyllic existence ended in a single day, when false accusations from a bitter parishioner forced the Church to separate them forever.  Twenty years later, in the aftermath of an accident, Lizzy believes she hears the voice of the long-dead Father Mike.
