Welcome to the KPL Book Club Blogspot

Welcome to the internet home of the Kilbourn Public Library (KPL) Book Club. The KPL Book Club meets at the library once a month. A book is chosen for each month and then members of the book club meet the last Monday and Wednesday of every month for lively discussion and treats. While we can’t offer you treats via the internet, this KPL Reads blog was designed for those of you who would like to participate in the book club but don’t have time to join us at meetings. Each month KPL staff will post discussion topics and questions to get you “talking”. Join in the discussion by adding a post to the blog. Click on the word comments below the post you want to "talk" about and write your comment. Be sure to check back often to see feedback and comments.

February's book club selection is Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See.

This is an unforgettable novel of two Chinese women whose friendship and love sustains them through their lives. Here is your chance to "discuss" the book with other readers. Tell us what you think of Lily, the narrator. Is she the heroine or the villian? What did you think about the detailed and emotionally wrenching writing about foot binding? Were Lily and Snow Flower the weak and worthless women that their culture tells them they are? Would you recommend the book to others? Share your thoughts about this book by posting a message here.

A lot of books will pale in comparison after reading Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. The discussion this week will be great. Lori P

Great book. Lily was a hard character to either consider a villian or a heroine. I would describe her more as a victim of her circumstances.
