Rebecca Rule will return to lead a discussion of Jennifer Haigh’s second novel, Baker Towers.

The Chicago Tribune called the book “a song of praise for a too-little-praised part of America, for the working families whose toils and constancy have done so much to make the country great.” Call (603) 589-4611 or email reference@nashualibrary.org to get a copy of the book.
