Join Parker Memorial Library for “Booked on a Thursday” Book Club at 5:30 PM on Thursday, October 16th. Conversation, fellowship, and refreshments will be centered on popular book titles for adults to discuss. This month’s book selection is “The Silent Patient” by Alex Michaelides. Refreshments will be provided by the library.
In this novel, Alicia Berenson’s life appears perfect as a renowned painter married to a successful fashion photographer. However, she shoots her husband, Gabriel, upon his late return home one evening and then stops speaking entirely. This shocking act turns her into a sensational mystery, elevating her art’s value while she is confined in a secure forensic unit. Theo Faber, a criminal psychotherapist eager to work with her, seeks to uncover the truth behind her silence and the motives for the shooting, leading him on a convoluted journey that impacts his own life.
Participants are encouraged to check out the book by visiting the Parker Memorial Library at 500 West Broadway in Sulphur. You can also call the library at (580) 634-2315 for more information. The Parker Memorial Library is a branch of the Southern Oklahoma Library System.
