SUMMARY:Literary Libations February Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow book lovers for Literary Libations\, a free monthly book club hosted in the Parlor Room at The Study at Morrison House. Taking place one Wednesday each month\, this gathering offers a relaxed and welcoming space to dive into your next read—whether it’s a timeless classic\, a trending release\, or the latest must-read from BookTok. \nSip on themed cocktails and mocktails inspired by the book of the month\, pair them with small plates from The Study’s bar menu\, or linger after the discussion to indulge in a seasonal tasting menu. \nLiterary Libations isn’t a formal\, structured discussion—it’s a cozy salon for mingling\, exchanging ideas\, and diving into new worlds together. Conversation starters and thoughtful prompts will be scattered around the room\, but the conversation is all yours to shape. \nBOOK OF THE MONTH: Buckeye by Patrick Ryan\nIn Bonhomie\, Ohio\, a stolen moment of passion\, sparked in the exuberant aftermath of the Allied victory in Europe\, binds Cal Jenkins\, a man wounded not in war but by his inability to serve in it\, to Margaret Salt\, a woman trying to obscure her past. Cal’s wife\, Becky\, has a spiritual gift: She is a seer who can conjure the dead\, helping families connect with those they’ve lost. Margaret’s husband\, Felix\, is serving on a Navy cargo ship\, out of harm’s way—until a telegram suggests that the unthinkable might have happened. \nLater\, as the country reconstructs in the postwar boom\, a secret grows in Bonhomie—but nothing stays buried forever in a small town. Against the backdrop of some of the most transformative decades in modern America\, the consequences of that long-ago encounter ripple through the next generation of both families\, compelling them to reexamine who they thought they were and what the future might hold. \nSweeping yet intimate\, rich with piercing observation and the warmth that comes from profound understanding of the human spirit\, Buckeye captures the universal longing for love and for goodness.
