At the next Book Circle meeting, to be held on Thursday, July 25, at 3 p.m., in Andrew Levin Park, the group will study the effects on family members held for six years in an internment camp. Hazel Selzer Kahane has written a harrowing account of the experiences in A House in Lahore: Growing Up Jewish in Pakistan.

            Drawing on extensive boarding school correspondence, the book examines the power of letter writing to bind a scattered family. When the author returns to her beloved childhood house, she finds that it still stands, but she is unprepared for what she finds.

The Book Circle meets monthly to discuss books on Jewish topics and/or by Jewish writers. For more information, email Susan Rosenstreich, coordinator, at ctigreenport@gmail.com./
