WFL’s volunteer led book club’s October selection is Julie Gerstenblatt‘s Daughters of Nantucket. All are welcome to join on Tuesday, October 14th at 1:30pm. WFL Book Club does not meet in December.

Set against Nantucket’s Great Fire of 1846, this sweeping, emotional novel brings together three courageous women battling to save everything they hold dear…
Nantucket in 1846 is an island set apart not just by its geography but by its unique circumstances. With their menfolk away at sea, often for years at a time, women here know a rare independence—and the challenges that go with it.
“Gerstenblatt’s distinctive tale, a triumph in storytelling, celebrates the courage and tenacity of women.” —Booklist, starred review
