Quick Steps
Fall 2020 - Jan 2021 Book Discussion Series
Just because we can't hold dance classes doesn't mean we can't be active in other ways. A book discussion club has been formed. On its agenda are three stories of Irish interest:
- October: BLACK POTATOES (the Story of the Great Irish Famine, 1845-1850), by Susan Campbell Bartoletti. This discussion is over, here are the questions used during the meeting.
- November: THE IRISH BRIDGET (Irish Immigrant Women in Domestic Service in America, 1840–1930) by Margaret Lynch-Brennan. Questions used during our discussion are here.
- December - January: 97 ORCHARD (An Edible History of Five Immigrant Families in One New York Tenement) by Jane Ziegelman.
The next discussion is on January 19, 2021.
