May is (almost) here and it’s time for a new book club book – Vinegar Girl, by anne Tyler. Set in Tyler’s beloved Baltimore, this book is a modern retelling of The Taming of the Shrew. It’s part of the Hogarth Shakespeare Series, in which authors such as Margaret Atwood,Anne Tyler, Jeanette Winterson, and others write modern re-tellings of Shakepeare’s plots.

In Vinegar Girl, Katherine lives with her eccentric scientist father. Her father has a Russian research assistant whose visa is about to expire. Dad wants Katherine to marry the assistant so that the assistant can stay in the country. Hilarity ensues.

Please note that this month we are meeting a little early – on May 20th, 2017, at 10:30AM, Arden Dimick Library. Attend in person, or leave a comment!
