Readers Circle

January Book Selection

Marie Benedict's The Other Einstein offers us a window into a brilliant, fascinating woman whose light was lost in Einstein's enormous shadow. This novel resurrects Einstein's wife, a brilliant physicist in her own right, whose contribution to the special theory of relativity is hotly debated. Was she simply Einstein's sounding board, an assistant performing complex mathematical equations, or did she contribute something more? Please RSVP by clicking the button below (you must be logged in as a member to RSVP). You will receive Zoom link 24 hrs prior to this event.

If interested, the National Geographic Channel televised a wonderful series on Einstein, in their Genius series, with his wife playing a pivotal role in his success.

February Book Selection

In the 18th and 19th centuries British convicts were shipped to Australia, and 25,000 of them were women. The Exiles imagines the stories of two of them, along with that of an orphaned Aboriginal girl. Celebrating the bonds between women, the novel explores how lives that seem destined for pain might persevere. Please RSVP by clicking the button below (you must be logged in as a member to RSVP).
