Community Book Club: The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts by Louis de Bernieres

Are you looking to connect with others? Do you love reading all kinds of books? If you answered yes, the Community Book Club is for you! We are reading The War of Don Emmanuel’s Nether Parts by Louis de Bernieres

This rambunctious first novel by the author of the bestselling Corelli’s Mandolin is set in an impoverished, violent, yet ravishingly beautiful country somewhere in South America. When the haughty Dona Constanza decides to divert a river to fill her swimming pool, the consequences are at once tragic, heroic, and outrageously funny.

“Walks a precarious edge between slapstick and pathos, never once losing its balance.”—The Washington Post

The Community Book Club will meet via Zoom on Thursday, August 20 and September 3 from 6–7:30 p.m. to discuss the book.
