	10:30 AM - 12:00 PM	Morning Book Discussion - What Is This Thing Called Love
		Contact: Adult Services Department (203) 452-2850 x. 6 reference(AT)ewml.org
		This month's selection is The God of Small Things, by Arundhati Roy. It's easier to talk about small things because the big things in life are far too complex and painful. But even small things can loom large, and everything can change, radically, in a day, a moment. These are the sort of big things first-time novelist Roy ponders in this highly original and exquisitely crafted tale set in the tiny river town of Ayemenem in Kerala, India. The story revolves around a pair of twins, brother and sister, whose mother has left her violent husband to live with her blind mother and brother, Chacko. Chacko's ex-wife and Chacko's lovely young daughter's arrival upsets the already tenuous balance in the household. The twins and their cousin barely have time to get acquainted before tragedy strikes. Booklist 5/1/1997 Sponsored by the Connecticut Humanities Council and presented by Diana Loevy. Registration is required.
