Book club: 'A Tale of Two Cities'

Our book for the next few weeks will be "A Tale of Two Cities," Charles Dickens' timeless work about the French Revolution.

As always, the club is open to new members. One of Dickens' two historical novels, "A Tale of Two Cities" reflects his longstanding interest in themes of social justice and is one of his most famous works. "A Tale of Two Cities" has been adapted to film and stage a number of times.

The club generally meets at 11 a.m. Mondays at my house. Our first discussion, of the first three chapters of "A Tale of Two Cities," is set to begin at 11 a.m. March 12.

The book club is intended for young teens, but is open to anyone who reads the books and is up for the discussions. There is no charge for the group.
