The Adult Book Club will meet at 1 p.m. March 10 at the Brownstown Public Library to discuss “The Venice Sketchbook” by Rhys Bowen.

Caroline Grant is struggling to accept the end of her marriage when she receives an unexpected bequest. Her beloved great-aunt, Lettie, leaves her a sketchbook, three keys and a final whisper Venice. Caroline’s quest: To scatter Juliet “Lettie” Browning’s ashes in the city she loved and to unlock the mysteries stored away for more than 60 years.

It’s 1938 when art teacher Juliet Browning arrives in romantic Venice. For her students, it’s a wealth of history, art and beauty. For Juliet, it’s poignant memories and a chance to reconnect with Leonardo Da Rossi, the man she loves whose future is already determined by his noble family. However star-crossed, nothing can come between them until the threat of war closes in on Venice and they’re forced to fight, survive and protect a secret that will bind them forever.

Key by key, Lettie’s life of impossible love, loss and courage unfolds. It’s one that Caroline can now make right again as her own journey of self-discovery begins.

The club is design to provide an informal, congenial atmosphere for patrons 18 and older to share their interpretations of the current book selection. Everyone should read the month’s selection before the meeting, but feel free to attend even if you haven’t finished the book as long as you don’t mind hearing how the book ends.

Everyone is encouraged to participate in the discussion, but listeners are welcome.

Light refreshments are served by individuals from the group on a volunteer basis. Extra copies of the book selection are available one month in advance at the library circulation desk.

Registration is requested and may be done at the circulation desk at the library at 120 E. Spring St., Brownstown, or by calling the library at 812-358-2853.

Karen Raymer leads the program.
