Liz Whaley's book group will meet to discuss The Secret Scripture at the Loaf and Ladle
Liz Whaley's book group will meet at the Loaf and Ladle for an informal discussion of her March book, The Secret Scripture by Sebastian Barry.
The Secret Scripture is an epic story of family, love, and unavoidable tragedy from the two-time Man Booker Prize finalist Sebastian Barry 's novels have been hugely admired by readers and critics, and in 2005 his novel A Long Long Way was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. In The Secret Scripture, Barry revisits County Sligo, Ireland, the setting for his previous three books, to tell the unforgettable story of Roseanne McNulty. Once one of the most beguiling women in Sligo, she is now a resident of Roscommon Regional Mental Hospital and nearing her hundredth year. Set against an Ireland besieged by conflict, The Secret Scripture is an engrossing tale of one woman's life, and a vivid reminder of the stranglehold that the Catholic church had on individuals throughout much of the twentieth century.
Liz's group meets the third Sunday of the month at the Loaf and Ladle on Water Street in Exeter. Just read the book and join us-- no reservations necessary!
