Great books. Big questions. Strong opinions. Really good conversation.
Join the Maine Jewish Museum, Hadassah, and Rimon for our December Women’s Book Group as we discuss This Is Not About Us by acclaimed author Allegra Goodman.
An exploration of family, identity, memory, and the complicated ties that bind us together, This Is Not About Us invites us to consider the stories families tell, the secrets they keep, and the ways love, loyalty, and long-standing disagreements shape relationships across generations.
Whether you’ve read every page, made it halfway through, or haven’t cracked the cover, you’re welcome at the table! Come for the conversation, the camaraderie, and the company of women who love books and aren’t afraid of a lively discussion.
We’ll gather in the cozy Roastery Room at Coffee By Design for an afternoon of books, coffee, and community.
Registration is free but required.
