SUMMARY:Fort Washington Library: Get Lit! Book Club - Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Get Lit! Book Club\, neighborhood edition! Each month\, New Yorkers come together to read and discuss a popular title leading up to a live event with WNYC’s Alison Stewart and the author. This month’s book is Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders. \nThis neighborhood book club takes place at the Fort Washington Branch. Meet fellow readers and share your thoughts about the book! Learn more and download the book at nypl.org/getlit \nThe September title is George Saunders’ Booker Prize winning novel Lincoln in the Bardo\, a moving and original father-son story featuring none other than Abraham Lincoln\, as well as an unforgettable cast of supporting characters\, living and dead\, historical and invented. \nFrom the Publisher: February 1862. With the Civil War less than one year old\, President Lincoln’s beloved eleven-year-old son\, Willie\, lies gravely ill. In a matter of days\, Willie dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. Newspapers report that a grief-stricken Lincoln returns\, alone\, to the crypt several times to hold his boy’s body. From that seed of historical truth\, George Saunders spins an unforgettable story that breaks free of its realistic framework into a thrilling\, supernatural realm\, deploying a kaleidoscopic\, theatrical panorama of voices—living and dead\, historical and invented—to ask a timeless question: How do we live and love when we know that everything we love must end? \nDon’t forget to register to join Alison Stewart along with the author and readers everywhere for a live conversation\, in-person or online\, on Wednesday\, September 30\, 2026\, from 6 – 7 PM.

SUMMARY:Fountain Bookshop Book Club "Is It Worth The Hype?": A Perfect Hand
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Fountain Bookshop for bookclub: “Is It Worth the Hype?”  This August\, we will be reading A Perfect Hand by Ayelet Waldman. \nMiss Alice Lockey\, daughter of a tenant farmer\, has by dint of hard work\, innate intelligence\, and a cunning ability to predict the moods of her betters\, raised herself to the lofty status of lady’s maid at Alderwick Park. Though her mother has advised Alice to work only until marriage\, Alice has thus far resisted the temptations of matrimony among the neighboring widowers and pig farmers\, more content to enjoy the fruits of her labor—or at least the portion of it her father will share after it is paid to him. Alice spends her days arranging Lady Jemima Alderwick’s blond hair into the latest French styles\, chignons and plaits\, laundering her lady’s surprisingly malodorous petticoats and drawers\, and carefully sewing all manner of fripperies\, ribbons\, lace\, and silk flowers\, to her lady’s bonnets and gowns. \nBut when a visiting servant\, a valet named Charlie Wells\, catches her eye\, Alice begins to understand the constraints of her position. In a ploy to spend time with the object of her affection\, Alice attempts to arrange a romance between Lady Jemima Alderwick and Charlie’s employer\, one Baronet Sir Nigel Wynstowe. If only they would fall in love—then Alice and Charlie might live together as man and wife! Challenged by Lady Jemima’s love for another and Sir Wynstowe’s eccentric personality\, Alice must use all of her cunning to bring about this unlikely romantic union. Will this low-born servant successfully manipulate the hearts of these lords and ladies? Will Charlie and Alice ever improve their stations? Or\, as the beginning of women’s suffrage begins to percolate in the drawing rooms and salons of London\, will Alice discover a different sort of path for herself? \nA deliciously funny\, gorgeously detailed\, utter enthralling novel\, A Perfect Hand is a glorious novel of class\, gender\, and England on the cusp of enormous change.

SUMMARY:Fountain Bookshop Book Club Heights Whodunits: Heather
DESCRIPTION:For August we have chosen to read Heather by Caitlin Mullen. \nA small-town detective reopens an unsolved case\, sending shock waves across generations of women in this gripping new mystery from the Edgar Award–winning author of Please See Us. \n1990. In the myth-riddled woods of the New Jersey Pine Barrens\, sixteen-year-old Annabelle Riley’s twin sister\, Sabrina\, has been having an affair with a mysterious older man\, and Annabelle is determined to uncover what’s going on. Then\, inexplicably\, both sisters disappear. \nIn this same town years later\, newly instated police chief Callie Hauser makes an arrest that unexpectedly resurrects details from a heartbreaking cold case. As she digs deeper\, the past and the present collide\, challenging everything Callie believes about right and wrong\, who she is\, and the town she’s always called home. \nA propulsive mystery as incisive as it is forgiving\, Heather bears a visceral reminder that the truth of a woman’s life is often complicated and unknowable—to those on the outside\, and sometimes even to herself.

SUMMARY:Fort Washington Library: Neighborhood Book Club 'Lake Effect' by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney
DESCRIPTION:Reading keeps us connected. Join us for a neighborhood book club at the Fort Washington Branch! \nThe New York Public Library and WNYC—two indispensable New York institutions—are partnering to host a book club that brings New Yorkers together and fosters community. This book club will take place IN PERSON at the Fort Washington Branch. \nThe April title is Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney’s Lake Effect – a wry and tender portrait of two families forever changed by one lovestruck decision that will reverberate for decades. \nIt’s 1977 and an air of restlessness has settled on the residents of Cambridge Road in Rochester\, New York\, a place long fueled by the booming fortunes of Kodak and Xerox and\, for some\, the mores of the Catholic church. When Nina Larkin is given a copy of The Joy of Sex by her newly divorced friend\, she can no longer dismiss the nearly nonexistent intimacy of her marriage. Just as her oldest child\, Clara\, is falling in love for the first time\, Nina finds herself longing for the forbidden: a midlife awakening. An intoxicating fling with a prominent neighbor brings Nina a freedom she never thought possible—but also risks the reputations of both families and unravels Clara’s world\, just as she stands on the threshold of adulthood. \nYears later\, Clara\, now a successful food stylist in New York City\, has never been able to move past the long-ago scandal. Drawn back home by the pull of a family wedding and wrestling with her own demons\, she makes a pivotal decision that turns her life upside down. Written with Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney’s signature humor and insight\, Lake Effect is a wise and probing look at love and desire\, mothers and daughters\, loss and grief\, and what we owe the people we love most.
