November: a chill in the air and the mist is on the moor (OK, the local park). What could be more seasonal than a cup of tea and a good read?
Check out our Masterpiece Book Club for engaging book discussions, lectures, films and literary portrayals of authors and their works. This series runs through December. Here's what's coming in November.
Film Screening: Rebecca, 5:30 p.m. November 7 at Harold Washington Library Center. This 1940 classic psychological thriller from Alfred Hitchcock is based on the novel Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier.
Queen Victoria: The Legendary Life of a Glorious Monarch, 2 p.m. Saturday, November 17 at Lincoln Park Branch. Using photographs and images, historian Leslie Goddard explores Victoria's rise to the throne at 18 and her astonishing reign for 64 years.
And we'll have two book discussions in November:
Masterpiece Book Club at Edgebrook Branch discusses Victoria & Abdul at 1 p.m. Wednesday, November 7.
Masterpiece Book Club at Albany Park Branch discusses Little Women at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, November 29.
