We read books that have been turned in to movies and then we watch the movie and discuss the differences!
This group meets on the fourth Sunday of the month at 3pm at Legally Brewed.
You do not have to buy the book through The Lore to participate (but it's extra awesome if you do!), you can just join us for the discussion!
You don't not have to have finished the book, though we will discuss the end of the book.
You do not have to come to every meeting (dip in and out of different book clubs, come see us once and then not again for six months, do whatever works for you)
The book for February 22, 2026 is Brooklyn by Colm Toilin.
Description:
“One of the most unforgettable characters in contemporary literature” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette), Eilis Lacey has come of age in small-town Ireland in the hard years following World War Two. When an Irish priest from Brooklyn offers to sponsor Eilis in America, she decides she must go, leaving her fragile mother and her charismatic sister behind.
Eilis finds work in a department store on Fulton Street, and when she least expects it, finds love. Tony, who loves the Dodgers and his big Italian family, slowly wins her over with patient charm. But just as Eilis begins to fall in love, devastating news from Ireland threatens the promise of her future.
Author “Colm Tóibín…is his generation’s most gifted writer of love’s complicated, contradictory power” (Los Angeles Times). “Written with mesmerizing power and skill” (The Boston Globe), Brooklyn is a “triumph…One of those magically quiet novels that sneak up on readers and capture their imaginations” (USA TODAY).
