Ready to Read? Register for Adelphi Breast Cancer Program’s Warriors Book Club on Monday, December 16
The Adelphi Breast Cancer Program’s Warriors Book Club, a free support service dedicated to survivors of breast cancer, will meet on Monday, December 16, from 7 pm – 8 pm. The monthly meeting held on Zoom, will allow book club members to discuss their recent reading selection, “Long Island” by critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling author, Colm Tóibín.
Participants in the Warriors Book Club have the opportunity to connect with others in the breast cancer community, as they come together virtually to share an enlightening book, engage in lively discussion, and create an inspirational environment.
During the December 16 meeting, the group will be discussing “Long Island,” a moving and intense novel about secrecy, misunderstanding, and love. The story follows Eilis Lacey, the complex and enigmatic heroine of “Brooklyn,” Tóibín’s most popular work, and offers the reader a look at her life in the future.
