Library slates discussion of literary thriller

    DERBY - The Derby Public Library has scheduled its next Lunchtime Book Discussion for 12:30 p.m. March 28.
    The selected title is “The Double Bind” by Chris Bohjalian, best known for the powerful and provocative “Midwives.”
    This newer novel travels between Jay Gatsby’s Long Island and rural New England, between the Roaring 20s and the 21st century.
    When college sophomore Laurel Estabrook is attacked while riding her bicycle through Vermont’s back woods, her life is changed forever. Readers are taken on a haunting journey of one woman’s obsession of uncovering a dark secret in this literary thriller.
    Multiple copies of the book are available at the circulation desk.
    Participants are asked to bring a sandwich and a friend as they “chat and chew.” Dessert and beverages will be provided.
