Book Club – The Ocean at the End of the Lane

Join us for our Monthly Book Club, where book lovers come together to discuss a wide range of literary genres, from contemporary fiction to timeless classics. Each month, we select a new book to dive into and explore its themes, characters, and plot twists in a friendly and welcoming environment. Whether you’re a seasoned reader or just looking to start a new hobby, our book club offers a great opportunity to share your thoughts, discover new authors, and meet fellow literature enthusiasts.

This month we’ll be discussing The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman. A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hasn’t thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the pond (a pond that she’d claimed was an ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.

Books will be available for checkout at the library. We can’t wait to see you there!
