Book Discussion Group November Selection: "Big Stone Gap" by Adriana Trigiani

During the month of November the West Long Branch Public Library’s Book Discussion Group will be reading Big Stone Gap by Adriana Trigiani. This novel takes place in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, in the tiny town of Big Stone Gap. The New York Times Book Review praised this book “As comforting as a mug of chamomile tea on a rainy Sunday.” This debut novel centers on the life of Ave Maria Mulligan and the local town folks during the 1970’s. Reading Group Guide states, “Brimming with humor and wise notions of small-town life, Big Stone Gap is a gem of a book with a giant heart.” If you would like to read along with us you can check out a copy of the book at the Circulation Desk.
