Book group meets October 26 for psychological thriller "Sister"

Do you like the idea of a book group, but you're not ready to start one yourself? Meet up with other readers at the library's book group and enjoy the easy-going camaderie created by experienced host and discussion leader Kathleen Faggella.

While most people do borrow the book for the month from the library and read it ahead of time, it's certainly not required. Newcomers may just drop by and find out if the format of the group appeals to them.

The Stratford Library “Books Over Coffee” discussion group will tackle Rosamund Lupton’s current bestseller, Sister, on Wednesday, October 26th at noon. Sister is a psychological thriller that turns on the complicated relationship between two sisters.

When her mom calls to tell her that Tess, her younger sister, is missing, Bee returns home to London on the first flight. She expects to find Tess and gives her the usual lecture, the bossy big sister scolding her flighty baby sister for taking off without letting anyone know her plans. Bee is used to watching out for her wayward sibling and is fiercely protective of Tess (and has always been a little stern about her antics). But then Tess is found dead, apparently by her own hand. That is just the beginning of the enthralling crime novel that is Sister, the debut work and instant bestseller from author Rosamund Lupton.

“Books Over Coffee” will be held in the Stratford Library’s Lovell Room beginning at noon on October 26th. Participants are invited to bring a bag lunch to the program and coffee and tea is also served. Limited reading copies of Sister are currently available for loan at the library’s Circulation Desk.

Books coming up later in the year include:

• November 30: Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua
• December 21: Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand by Helen Simonson
