By Maggie Olson, 574-252-1679 We will meet in the Meeting Room at 10:30 am on Wednesday, Aug. 11, as Laura Anderson leads the discussion of Michelle Gable's book, A Paris Apartment. April Vogt, a Sotheby's auctioneer, accepts the enticing job of examining the contents of a Paris apartment that had been closed for 70 years. In the process, she not only uncovers the Belle Epoque life and relationships of the former owner, Marthe de Florian, but takes a deeper look into her own. A time of discovery! Please join us, even if you haven't had a chance to read this book. If you are reading ahead, our September selection is the New York Times bestseller, Where the Crawdads Sing, by Delia Owens.
