Book Club - Pachinko by Min Jun Lee
Date: Tuesday, July 21st 2020 Time: 7.00pm Where: Pennant Hills BowlingClub/52 Yarrara Rd- Pennant Hills Convenor: Jacinta Details In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger at the seashore near her home in Korea. He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant--and that her lover is married--she refuses to be bought. Instead, she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle, sickly minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home, and to reject her son's powerful father, sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through the generations. Richly told and profoundly moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty. From bustling street markets to the halls of Japan's finest universities to the pachinko parlors of the criminal underworld, Lee's complex and passionate characters--strong, stubborn women, devoted sisters and sons, fathers shaken by moral crisis--survive and thrive against the indifferent arc of history Join us, even if you haven't read the book, we'd love to see you RSVP: please follow the link below to confirm your attendance. https://www.meetup.com/sydneynewcomers/events/268796194/ Book Club - Into the Water by Paula Hawkins Jacinta
Date: Tuesday August 18th
Where: Pennant Hills Bowling Club Time: 7 pm Convenor: Jacinta Details The author of the #1 New York Times bestseller and global phenomenon The Girl on the Train returns with Into the Water, her addictive new novel of psychological suspense. A single mother turns up dead at the bottom of the river that runs through town. Earlier in the summer, a vulnerable teenage girl met the same fate. They are not the first women lost to these dark waters, but their deaths disturb the river and its history, dredging up secrets long submerged. Left behind is a lonely fifteen-year-old girl. Parentless and friendless, she now finds herself in the care of her mother's sister, a fearful stranger who has been dragged back to the place she deliberately ran from—a place to which she vowed she'd never return. With the same propulsive writing and acute understanding of human instincts that captivated millions of readers around the world in her explosive debut thriller, The Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins delivers an urgent, twisting, deeply satisfying read that hinges on the deceptiveness of emotion and memory, as well as the devastating ways that the past can reach a long arm into the present. Beware a calm surface—you never know what lies beneath. Join us, even if you haven't read the book, we'd love to see you RSVP: https://www.meetup.com/sydneynewcomers/events/268796209/ Movie Night / TBA
