Kensington Library Book Club - "Moonstone" by Wilkie Collins

     Stolen from the forehead of a Hindu idol, the dazzling gem known as "The Moonstone" resurfaces at a birthday party in an English country home — with an enigmatic trio of watchful Brahmins hot on its trail. Laced with superstitions, suspicion, humor, danger, suspense and romance, this 1868 mystery draws readers into a compelling tale with numerous twists and turns. Collins unmasks a restrictive society marked by sexual and imperial domination.

Book group meetings are usually held on the fourth Monday of every month in the library at 7:00 p.m. Each meeting starts with a poem selected and read by a member with a brief discussion following the reading. New members are always welcome.
