The Magical History Tour Book discussion group meets monthly, generally but not always on the last Monday evening at 7:00, to discuss a wide variety of highly praised historical novels – their plots, characters, the skill with which they’re written, and the issues they raise. Our guiding premise seems to be that a book worth reading is a book worth sharing and mulling over with other congenial minds. Sometimes someone will bring food from the period under discussion. We are currently nearing the end of our second year, but newcomers are warmly
welcomed, and we almost always have a good time.
