ABOUT THE EVENT
The Phoenix Book Club, Phoenixville Public Library’s book discussion group for adults of all ages, will meet virtually on Monday, January 11 at 7:00 PM. The group will discuss News of the World by Paulette Jiles. In the post-Civil War West, Capt. Jefferson Kyle is an itinerant war-weary widower who reads the news to paying customers. Along the way he is given a $50 gold piece to transport a kidnapped girl back to what’s left of her family. She was spared at age 6 from the fate of her parents and sister who were murdered by members of a Kiowa tribe. Raised by them for the past four years, and the only family she knows, she is “rescued” and begins her reluctant journey. Jiles pains a story about trust, home and family.
