Join us for a discussion on this month’\;s pick\, Briefly\, A Delicioys Life by Nell Stevens.

*A Cosmopolita n Best Book of Summer * One of BuzzFeed’\;s Most Anticipated LGBTQ+ Books*

An “\;exquisite…\;too lovely to bear”\; (T he New York Times Book Review) debut novel from an award-winning writer: a playful and daring tale about a teenage ghost who falls in love with the writer George Sand.

In 1473\, fourteen-year-old Blanca dies i n a hilltop monastery in Mallorca. Nearly four hundred years later\, whe n George Sand\, her two children\, and her lover Frederic Chopin arrive in the village\, Blanca is still there: a spirited\, funny\, righteous g host\, she’\;s been hanging around the monastery since her accident al death\, spying on the monks and the townspeople and keeping track of her descendants.

Blanca is enchanted the moment she sees George\, and the magical novel unfolds as a story of deeply felt\, unrequited lo nging—\;a teenage ghost pining for a woman who can’\;t see her and doesn’\;t know she exists. As George and Chopin\, who wear the ir unconventionality\, in George’\;s case\, literally on their slee ves\, find themselves in deepening trouble with the provincial\, 19th-ce ntury villagers\, Blanca watches helplessly and reflects on the circumst ances of her own death (which involved an ill-advised love affair with a monk-in-training).

Charming\, original\, and emotionally moving \, this “\;deeply wild debut follows the unconventional love triangl e”\; (Cosmopolitan) between George\, Chopin\, and Blanca—\;a g orgeous and surprising exploration of artistry\, desire\, and life after death.

Bring your thoughts and feelings on the novel to discuss on Sunday\, July 12. Don’\;t worry if you didn’\;t finish the book\, you’\;re still welcome to join us for a lively discussion an d plenty of banter!

Hydrangeas are the most striking flowering shrubs\, from the size a nd color of their inflorescences to their lengthy flowering times. Howev er\, there is much confusion regarding water and soil requirements\, sun exposure\, fertilization\, and pruning of these colorful shrubs. We wil l walk through the gardens and visit many cultivars of common New Englan d species: macrophylla (Big Leaf)\, arborescens (Smooth)\, paniculata (P aniculate)\, quercifolia (Oak Leaf)\, as well as some special\, uncommon species. A handout will provide information on the proper care of the d ifferent species and a listing of the plants visited.

Pre-registr ation is required. Tour size is limited to 15.
