VIRTUAL & IN-PERSON MEETING

These Precious Days by Ann Patchett

An essay collection that touches on family, friendships, beloved authors and aspects of the writing life. The title essay, about an unexpected friendship with a woman undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer, went viral when it was first published in Harper’s Magazine. In 22 essays, Patchett meditates poignantly and with humor on “what I needed, whom I loved, what I could let go, and how much energy the letting go would take.”

Moderated by Educator Susan Gomes. To participate and for details about meeting virtually or in-person, contact Cindy Haiken at chaiken@wallingfordlibrary.org.
