Look for book club members in the "couch area" to the left when you enter the first floor of the Columns Hotel. They have a wonderful coffee bar to the right so grab something and join us! Coffee bar opens at 7 a.m. so consider arriving early to relax, read up, and get a bite before we start the discussion!

Blood Red, Sister Rose by Thomas Keneally* (1974)
Book description:
A gritty, authentic retelling of Joan of Arc as a bewildered peasant girl hearing divine voices, focusing on her military triumphs like lifting the Siege of Orleans and the tragic arc of her transformation, challenging legends with historical realism.
Fun facts: This is the author of Schindler‘s List and we selected this book because this is the book upon which Baz Luhrmann is basing his forthcoming Joan of Arc film!
We encourage you to get your books at our partner bookstore Frenchmen Art & Books!
