34 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | AUGUST 2019
We meet on the second Tuesday of each month at 9:30 am in the RCN
Room #3. Newcomers are always welcome, even if you haven't read the
book.
The selection for August is The Ocean Liner by Marius Gabriel. Here is
a brief description of the book from Amazon.com: "Cousins Masha and
Rachel Morgenstern board the luxury liner the SS Manhattan bound for New
York, desperate to escape the concentration camps that claimed the rest of
their family. America offers a safe haven, but to reach it they must survive a
hazardous Atlantic crossing. Among their fellow passengers fleeing the war,
each with their own conflicts, secrets and surprises, are the composer Igor
Stravinsky, making a new start after a decade of tragedy, and Rose Kennedy,
determined to keep her four children from harm. Particularly worrying to
Rose is her daughter Rosemary, a vivacious but troubled woman whose love
for a Californian musician may derail her family's political ambitions. And
then there's young Thomas, a Nazi with a secret… But, under the waves, the
Manhattan is being stalked by a German U-boat. Will any of those aboard
the ocean liner ever achieve their dream of a new life in America?"
Please join us when we discuss this book on Tuesday, Aug. 13 at 9:30
