Eight books for the Oakland Senior Center reading group

Please read along with us and add your comments here or in the Facebook posts!

Our fall list gathers eight novels that look, in their different ways, at the long arc of a life: old friendships and new ones, family secrets, exile and homecoming, and the quiet courage of carrying on.

Meetings run every other Monday; November 30 we meet to choose our Spring books!
