In the 1960s, Margaret Ryan seems to have a perfect life: a husband, three kids, and a home in an exclusive Virginia suburb. But something is missing. When the enigmatic Charlotte moves in, Margaret starts a book club with her and two neighbors. As they read ‘The Feminine Mystique’ and share their true feelings, the women realize they all yearn for more than the idealized roles they’ve been given. Calling themselves the Bettys, their new friendship and book club give them the support and courage to face a year that will change their lives.

Book Club – Champion Public Library
Join others at the Champion Public Library for a monthly book club at 5:30 PM on Thursday, August 6th. Conversation, fellowship, and refreshments will be centered on popular book titles for adults to discuss. This month’s book, “White Octopus Hotel” by Alex Bell will be discussed.
London, 2015. When reclusive art appraiser Eve Shaw shakes the hand of a silver-haired gentleman in her office, the warmth of his palm sends a spark through her. His name is Max Everly—curiously, the same name as Eve’s favorite composer, born one hundred sixteen years prior. And she has the sudden feeling that she’s held his hand before . . . but where, and when? The White Octopus Hotel, 1935. In this belle époque building high in the snowy mountains, Eve and a young Max wander the winding halls, lost in time. Each of them has been through the trenches—Eve through a family accident and Max on the battlefields of the Great War—but for an impossible moment, love and healing are just a room away . . . if only they have the courage to step through the door.
Participants are encouraged to check out the book by visiting the Champion Public Library at 601 Railway Express in Ardmore or call (580) 223-3164. The Champion Public Library is a branch of the Southern Oklahoma Library System.
