English Summary/英文概要: "This lighthearted, cozy read brought a smile to my face. Lovers of small town fiction are going to fall in love with The Reading Circle." --Marie Bostwick, author of Between Heaven and Texas
Welcome to the quirky town of Cherico, Mississippi, where potluck meetings at the local library provide a feast for mind and stomach alike. . .
If some folks had their way, the Cherico library would have shut down long ago. Councilman Durden Sparks aims to divert funding to a cause dear to his heart--and his wallet. With the aid of gumption and good friends, librarian Maura Beth Mayhew has finagled a one-year reprieve, and the burgeoning book club is raising the library’s profile one mouthwatering meeting at a time. But more members mean more opinions. . .
While the Forrest Gump-themed shrimp dishes are a universal hit, meetings don’t always go according to plan. Between spirited debate over book choices and surprising revelations and relationship hiccups--including Maura Beth’s fledgling romance--there’s a lot to discuss. And just when bad luck threatens to finish the library for good, the Cherry Cola Book Club may learn that the best stories have twists--and heroes--you never expected. . .
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 每个人都有自己的行事风格,Cherico图书馆早就会被关闭。市议会员Durden Sparks的目标是要将筹措资金转到自己的腰包。在进取心和好友的帮助下,图书管理员Maura Beth Mayhew哄骗到了一年的缓刑,人头攒动的读书俱乐部正好提升了图书馆的人气,和一次让人羡慕的聚会。但更多的成员意味着更多的意见。。。
以《阿甘正传》为主题的虾式菜肴是个不错的主意,但聚会并不总是按照计划进行。在关于图书选择的激励讨论和对男女关系方面的一些出乎意料的发现,包括图书管理员Maura Beth的那些磕磕绊绊的浪漫史,似乎有着很多谈资内容。而当图书馆将要面临关闭的厄运时,樱桃可乐读书俱乐部可能会知道什么是真正的英雄的曲折故事。。。
“准备好被Cherico图书馆内的这些粉丝们所倾倒,为图书管理员Maura Beth点赞吧,无畏的图书管理员决定让图书成为一种纽带,把人们联系在一起。”
