Still Alice by Lisa Genova

Still Alice by Lisa Genova is the book selection for the April meeting of the Page Turner Book Club. The main character, Alice Howland, at 50 years old finds herself in the sudden descent of early onset Alzheimer’s disease.

Alice is a celebrated Harvard professor at the height of her career when she notices forgetfulness creeping into her seemingly organized life. Alice is fiercely independent and struggles to maintain her lifestyle while her sense of self is slowly being stripped away. Still Alice captures in remarkable detail what’s it’s like to literally lose your mind…

Meet in the Teck Coal Room on Monday, April 19th from 7:00 – 8:30 to discuss this thought provoking topic.

Fall on your knees by Ann-Marie Macdonald

The Piper family is steeped in secrets, lies, and unspoken truths. At the eye of the storm is one secret that threatens to shake their lives even to destroy them. Set on stormy Cape Breton Island off Nova Scotia, Fall on Your Knees is an internationally acclaimed multigenerational saga that chronicles the lives of four unforgettable sisters. Theirs is a world filled with driving ambition, inescapable family bonds, and forbidden love. Compellingly written, by turns menacingly dark and hilariously funny, this is an epic tale of five generations of sin, guilt, and redemption.

The Jade Peony by Wayson Choy

In the Chinatown of 1940s Vancouver, three children of Chinese immigrant parents nurture dreams of making their own mark on the world around them. Jung-Sum is an adopted son who fights in the boxing ring – and wrestles with uncertainty about his own sexual identity. Jook-Liang dreams of escaping the confines of tradition to become the next Shirley Temple, and Sekky, the youngest child, surprises the rest of the family with his own quiet wisdom. The Jade Peony is a moving story of memory and loss, and of reconciling the past with the future.
