This month we will discuss The Nesting Dolls by Alina Adams. Spanning nearly a century, from 1930s Siberia to contemporary Brighton Beach, a page turning, epic family saga centering on three generations of women in one Russian Jewish family—each striving to break free of fate and history, each yearning for love and personal fulfillment—and how the consequences of their choices ripple through time.
This event will take place through a video conference call. Registration is not required. We welcome anyone to join us at any time. But, if this is your first time with us, we ask that you kindly let Trina Reinach, sreinach@rcn.com, know that you will be attending (by providing your email address) so that we can be sure you receive our correspondences.
