Event Details

Is this a lesson on learning to read?

Well, the first character you meet is 22-year-old Violet, a prisoner in Maine. The next character is Frank, a retired mechanic, handyman and widower. The third main character is Harriet, a retired teacher and now a volunteer in charge of the book club at the prison.

Bringing these three together is the focus of the book and a chance to view the life of some female prisoners. 

How to Read a Book is the inspiring story of kindness, trust, hope, friendship, love and the powerful lessons we can learn from books.
