At the center is Rose, the cantankerous matriarch, who longs for her earlier life in London and Vienna, but is now forced into dependency on her sons Ed, an academic expert on terrorism, and Henry, an artistic expatriate with a taste for antiques and postmodern poetry. Also in the family circle are Ed’s wife, Sarah, who teaches creative writing and longs for a more literary life; and Sarah and Ed’s daughter Miriam, a medical student who causes great alarm in her largely assimilated family by rediscovering Judaism. The group will meet at 7:30 p.m. at the center located at 682 Harristown Road. Book discussions are free and open to the community. RSVP to Michelle at librarian@grjc. org.
