The League of Women Voters of Broward County meet the second Friday of each month to discuss books centered around strong women of diverse backgrounds.
About the title:
In July 1888, in a public garden in Arles, France, Vincent van Gogh meets a young woman who will change his life forever. He came to Arles to escape the strains of Paris and find a different light for his painting. Meeting Rachel was the spark he needed to rededicate himself. Feeding off the energy of this fascinating woman, fighting the hopelessness deep inside him, Vincent throws himself into his work. Rachel, desperate to flee the shame of village scandal, is drawn to the loneliness she senses in this strange man. Filled with dreams and a love of life, Rachel strikes up an unexpected friendship with the mysterious foreigner. As she and Vincent grow closer, Rachel comes to believe that the man everyone gossips about could be the love she longs for. But as time passes, she gains a deeper insight into a man struggling with personal demons. Can Vincent's growing attachment to Rachel save him? And will Rachel find the strength to stand by a man she has come to care for deeply, even as he spirals into darkness?
Sunflowers by Sheramy Bundrick is available as an eBook through the Hoopla database.
The League of Women Voters of Broward County (LWVBC) began the Literati Book Club in August 2019 as a prelude to the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. Led by Bradette Jepsen, a Past President of LWVBC and published author, the book club first selected titles focused around the Suffragists and the movement they created but quickly expanded to include stories of strong women of many diverse backgrounds, both past and present. Selected titles have included bestsellers, works of nonfiction, and even a graphic novel. Discussion is informal and all are encouraged to participate - or just listen. Both league members and members of the public are welcome.
