For the Month of June, the HSL Book Group will discuss The Wife by Meg Wolitzer.

The basis for the Oscar nominated film starring Glenn Close, The Wife centers on world-famous novelist Joe, his wife Joan, and the secret they’ve kept for decades. The novel opens just as Joe is about to receive a prestigious international award, prompting Joan to reflect on the sacrifices she’s made in order to achieve the life she thought she wanted.

The HSL Book Group meets on the third Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Language, Literature, and History Section. New members are always welcome. No registration necessary.

Inquiries about the Hawaii State Library Book Group can be directed to hslbookgroup@gmail.com or (808) 586-3499.
