Book clubs return to DeKalb Library, virtually

DeKALB – The DeKalb Public Library’s General Book Club will meet via Zoom from 7 to 8 p.m. Sept. 14 to discuss "A Piece of the World," by Christina Baker Kline.

Inspired by "Christina’s World," the best-known painting by artist Andrew Wyeth, Kline tells Christina Olson’s story by interweaving fact and fiction. Born in her family’s remote farm in a small coastal Maine town and with increasing disabilities due to illness, Christina was destined for a small life. Then Wyeth’s wife introduces him to the Olson family and for more than 20 years Christina becomes a source of inspiration to the artist.

Register for this event at dkpl.org.

Copies of the book are available in the Adult Services department. This title also can be downloaded through Hoopla.
