The CAA Book Club
Snow in August by Pete Hamill
Sunday, August 23rd at 10:15am

Join Us!

The Book Club will be discussing Snow in August, a charming tale by Pete Hamill, who is known as a journalist, sports writer and novelist. The story takes place in Brooklyn in1947, where Michael Devlin, eleven years old and 100 percent American-Irish, is about to forge an extraordinary bond with a refugee of war named Rabbi Judah Hirsch. Standing united against a common enemy, they will summon from ancient sources a power in desperately short supply in modern Brooklyn-a force that’s forgotten by most of the world but is known to believers as magic.

We will meet in the Social Hall at 10:15 for coffee and bagels, with the discussion starting at 10:30. Everyone is invited. For information about obtaining a copy of the book, please contact Gail Giesen at gfgiesen@gmail.com.
