Participants will convene to discuss “The Marriage Portrait” by Maggie O’Farrell, a historical fiction novel based on the story of an Italian noble placed in an arranged marriage in the late 16th century. The club was created in March by the Quarryville Library’s program manager, Sharon Roche. “It was personal for me; I need to get more time outside and I like to read, walk and talk to people,” Roche said. “I figured there would be others who felt the same way, and sure enough there were.” Roche organizes the program on a monthly basis, and she selects See Library fundraiser pg 3
