The Overbrook Book Club meets at the Overbrook Library the third Tuesday of the month at 7:00 PM. All are welcome to attend and enjoy the fellowship and refreshments!
The May book club selection is celebrated author John Steinbeck’s 1935 novel Tortilla Flat.
Google Review: “Adopting the structure and themes of the Arthurian legend, John Steinbeck created a “Camelot” on a shabby hillside above the town of Monterey, California, and peopled it with a colorful band of knights. At the center of the tale is Danny, whose house, like Arthur’s castle, becomes a gathering place for men looking for adventure, camaraderie, and a sense of belonging—men who fiercely resist the corrupting tide of honest toil and civil rectitude.”
