SUMMARY:November 2025 Book Group
DESCRIPTION:The Scandinavia Public Library book group will meet on Tuesday, November 25 to discuss “The Berry Pickers” by Amanda Peters.\nFika (beverages and treats) begins at 3:40 p.m. with the discussion following at 4:00 p.m..\nCopies of the book are available to pick up at the library, or you can place a hold through Infosoup.\n\nA four-year-old Mi’kmaq girl goes missing from the blueberry fields of Maine, sparking a mystery that will haunt the survivors, unravel a family, and remain unsolved for nearly fifty years.\nJuly 1962. A Mi’kmaq family from Nova Scotia arrives in Maine to pick blueberries for the summer. Weeks later, four-year-old Ruthie, the family’s youngest child, vanishes. She is last seen by her six-year-old brother, Joe, sitting on a favorite rock at the edge of a berry field. Joe will remain distraught by his sister’s disappearance for years to come.\nIn Maine, a young girl named Norma grows up as the only child of an affluent family. Her father is emotionally distant, her mother frustratingly overprotective. Norma is often troubled by recurring dreams and visions that seem more like memories than imagination. As she grows older, Norma slowly comes to realize there is something her parents aren’t telling her. Unwilling to abandon her intuition, she will spend decades trying to uncover this family secret.\nThis showstopping debut by a vibrant new voice in fiction is a riveting novel about the search for truth, the shadow of trauma, and the persistence of love across time.\nNATIONAL BESTSELLER\n2023 Barnes & Noble Discover Prize Winner\nWinner of the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction\nBook Group meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month from January through November. We do not meet in December. Watch our website calendar or our Facebook page for the most recent updates!\n\nWe read books across most genres as well as some non-fiction.
