SUMMARY:June 2026 Book Group
DESCRIPTION:The Scandinavia Public Library book group will meet on Tuesday, June 23 to discuss “Driftless” by Wisconsin author David Rhoades.\n\nFika (beverages and treats) begins at 3:40 p.m. with the discussion following at 4:00 p.m..\n\nCopies of the book are available to pick up at the library, or you can place a hold through Infosoup. ( https://infosoup.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S181C877855 )\n\n+++++\n\nWords, Wisconsin, an anonymous town of only a few hundred people. But under its sleepy surface, life rages. Cora and Graham guard their dairy farm, and family, from the wicked schemes of their milk co-op. Lifelong paraplegic Olivia suddenly starts to walk, only to find herself crippled by her fury toward her sister and caretaker, Violet. Recently retired Rusty finds a cougar living in his haymow, dredging up haunting childhood memories. Winifred becomes pastor of the Friends church and stumbles on enlightenment in a very unlikely place. And July Montgomery, both private and gregarious, instigates a series of events that threatens the town’s solitude and doggedly suspicious ways.\n\n“[Rhodes’s] finest work yet . . . Driftless is the best work of fiction to come out of the Midwest in many years.”—Chicago Tribune\n\n\n“Encompassing and incisive, comedic and profound, Driftless is a radiant novel of community and courage.”—Booklist (starred review)\n“A welcome antidote to overheated urban fiction . . . A quiet novel of depth and simplicity.”—Kirkus Reviews\n\n\n+++++\n\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. Anyone is welcome to attend who has read, or is interested in, the current month’s book and would like to participate in friendly discussion. Members are welcome to attend one meeting or all of them as their interests and schedules permit.\n
