"The Lost Painting" Proves an Interesting Nonfiction Read

DelcoLiteracy's "One Book...One Literacy Council" selection for November was The Lost Painting, by Jonathan Harr, and was discussed by the group at Dec. 2's meeting.

The group enjoyed the book, its narrative style, and the issues about the art world and preserving history that it raised.

One member of the group found this article

that related very well to the book!

December's selection is The Hundred Secret Senses, by Amy Tan. The group will meet to discuss it on Monday, January 6, 2014, at Noon at the Literacy Council. Feel free to join us!
