"A Piece of the World" by Christina Baker Kline
All members of the Saint Anselm College community are invited to attend a book discussion of "A Piece of the World."
"To Christina Olson, the entire world was her family’s remote farm in the small coastal town of Cushing, Maine. Born in the home her family had lived in for generations, and increasingly incapacitated by illness, Christina seemed destined for a small life. Instead, for more than twenty years, she was host and inspiration for the artist Andrew Wyeth, and became the subject of one of the best known American paintings of the twentieth century. Told in evocative and lucid prose, A Piece of the World is a story about the burdens and blessings of family history, and how artist and muse can come together to forge a new and timeless legacy" (GoodReads.com).
Copies of the book will be available to borrow at the Circulation Desk by February 28, 2025.
Attendees are welcome to bring their lunches to the book group meeting.
Date: Friday, March 28, 2025
Time: 12:30 - 1:20 p.m.
