Join us for the next Book Club meeting! We meet on the second Monday of each month at Bistro 11 to share fellowship and thoughts about our book. Our next meeting will be on Monday, April 13th at 12:30 PM. The book we will be discussing is Buckeye by Patrick Ryan. If you are interested in joining us, contact Judy Kofoet and she will send you a reminder email prior to the meeting. In the meantime, read Buckeye and plan to join us!
A stolen moment of passion—sparked in the exuberant aftermath of the Allied victory in Europe—binds Cal Jenkins, a man wounded not by war but by his inability to serve, to Margaret Salt, a woman determined to outrun her past. Buckeye, by Patrick Ryan, unfolds from that single encounter into a sweeping, multi generational saga steeped in secrets, lies, regrets, and quiet deceptions.
Though the ingredients might suggest a vintage soap opera, Ryan delivers something far more nuanced: a slice of life Americana novel that is both expansive and intimate, rich with keen observation and a deep understanding that even good people sometimes make painful mistakes. The heart of the book lies not in the missteps themselves but in how its characters respond to them.
