The Bookworms reunited on December 1st at The Blu Fig to discuss Orphan Train by Christina Baker Cline. This book is historical fiction about a movement from 1854-1929 that placed orphaned and homeless children in new homes transported by train. We discussed Vivian's (ninety one year old) and Molly's (seventeen year old girl) relationship, differences, and their emotional bond throughout the novel. As always, the bookworms made many connections to text, self and world. Great company and discussion, excellent "vino", and good food with free garlic bread, it was a wonderful time together!
