"Little Gems" Adult Book Discussion - "Rhine Journey" by Ann Schlee In-Person
Join the "Little Gems" adult book discussion of Rhine Journey by Ann Schlee. In 1851, Charlotte is sailing the Rhine with her brother, his wife and their teenaged daughter. A glimpse of a stranger brings poignant memories to the surface for Charlotte, and forces her to reconsider her past, present and future. Publishers Weekly wrote "As Schlee digs toward the truth of the matter, she systematically bores through surface-level appearances to reveal the depths of her characters, especially Charlotte, who considers herself an uninteresting person, but proves to have a poetic mind. This is a triumph." Rhine Journey, originally published in 1981 and short-listed for the Booker Prize that year, was republished in 2024.
