For this month, book club members - and all adults! - are welcome to answer the following three questions regarding "Sounds Like Titanic: A Memoir" by Jessica Chiccehitto Hindman. Email your answers to Alison at adults@beaconlibrary.org by (and including) Tuesday, April 14th. Alison will then compile everyone's answers and email them back to everyone using first name only.
 
The questions are:
 
1. What price did the author pay for "playing" for the composer? Was it worth it?
 
2. How did the author's Appalachian background shape her life? What is her perception of how others interact with her because of it?
 
3. How would you describe the composer? Why is he successful? How is he different/not so different from the people who play for him?
 
The book selection for May is "The Last Runaway" by Tracy Chevalier.
