Virtual Book Club: A Town with Half the Lights On
Monday, Jun. 16, 7 p.m.
Please note this is not an author program but rather a (fun) book club discussion with other book worms.
The virtual book club will discuss A Town with Half the Lights On by Page Getz, a quirky and charming epistolary novel about a family of culture-shocked Brooklynites transplanted to Goodnight, Kansas. In Goodnight there are more wind chimes than people, so it is easily the talk of the town when Sid Solvang and his family move into a falling down Victorian home they inherit. While adjusting to life and the differences compared to their previous home in Brooklyn, the Solvang Family finds themselves the new owners of the May Day Diner, a restaurant that is under threat of demolition. Told through letters, notes, diary entries and a town newspaper, A Town with Half the Lights On proves that home isn’t just the place you live, family isn’t just your relatives, and it’s almost never easy to find the courage to do what’s right.
Copies of A Town with Half the Lights On are currently available to read and listen to on Hoopla, available from the library’s website at hudsonlibrary.org. Registration to attend the discussion is required. A valid email address is required at the time of registration. Participants will be emailed an invitation to meet on Zoom one day before the program. For more information, please call 330.653.6658 x1010.
