Join us to preview the movie The Wide Sargasso Sea. A prequel to “Jane Eyre.” An Englishman in nineteenth-century Jamaica falls into a tortured marriage with a native Creole. When the woman begins to go mad, her husband takes her back to his gothic estate in England, where he locks her in the attic.
The Afternoon book discussion will take place after the movie and we will discuss the book that the movie is based upon. The Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys. Books are available to borrow.

Afternoon Book Discussion
2025-12-11 14:00 - 15:00 | Harwinton Public Library, 80 Bentley Drive, Harwinton, CT, 06791, United States
This month’s book selection is The Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys. In this the author’s last and best-selling novel, she ingeniously brings into light one of fiction’s most fascinating characters: the madwoman in the attic from Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. This mesmerizing work introduces us to Antoinette Cosway, a sensual and protected young woman who is sold into marriage to the prideful Mr. Rochester. Rhys portrays Cosway amidst a society so driven by hatred, so skewed in its sexual relations, that it can literally drive a woman out of her mind.
Books are available to borrow. Join us!

Evening Book Discussion
2025-12-15 18:00 - 19:00 | Harwinton Public Library, 80 Bentley Drive, Harwinton, CT, 06791, United States
This month’s book selection is Taste: my life through food by Stanley Tucci. Stanley Tucci grew up in an Italian American family that spent every night around the kitchen table. He shared the magic of those meals with us in The Tucci Cookbook and The Tucci Table, and now he takes us beyond the savory recipes and into the compelling stories behind them.​
Taste is a reflection on the intersection of food and life, filled with anecdotes about his growing up in Westchester, New York; preparing for and shooting the foodie films Big Night and Julie & Julia; falling in love over dinner; and teaming up with his wife to create meals for a multitude of children. Each morsel of this gastronomic journey through good times and bad, five-star meals and burned dishes, is as heartfelt and delicious as the last.
Written with Stanley’s signature wry humor, Taste is for fans of Bill Buford, Gabrielle Hamilton, and Ruth Reichl–and anyone who knows the power of a home-cooked meal.
