Lunch Bunch Book Discussion: Summer Travel Abroad

Join the Barr Library Lunch Bunch Book Discussion group this summer as we travel to a different country each month. From May until September, we will travel the world together from Vietnam to Nigeria. Attend the book discussion each month and you will be entered into a grand prize drawing. If you can only travel with us three or four times, you still have the chance to win a prize. Along the way, you can even pick up souvenirs by posting your review of that month’s book to our Facebook page.

The Last Green Valley by Mark T. Sullivan

In late March 1944, as Stalin's forces push into Ukraine, young Emil and Adeline Martel must make a terrible decision: Do they wait for the Soviet bear's intrusion and risk being sent to Siberia? Or do they reluctantly follow the wolves - murderous Nazi officers who have pledged to protect "pure-blood" Germans? The Martels are one of many families of German heritage whose ancestors have farmed in Ukraine for more than a century. But after already living under Stalin's horrifying regime, Emil and Adeline decide they must run in retreat from their land with the wolves they despise to escape the Soviets and go in search of freedom.
