Get involved, share your thoughts, and learn community history by joining the Cobequid Chapters Book Club, a new initiative of the Colchester Historical Society.

Over the course of the year, club participants will read and discuss several book titles with links to Colchester history.

The first book selection is "Acadian Driftwood: One Family and The Great Expulsion," by Tyler LeBlanc. It is billed as "the untold story of one Acadian family: their experiences following their expulsion and their determination to find home." Members will meet to discuss this story of Acadian resilience at 10am on Friday, Sept. 18.

The next book, by author Danice Roache, is "Five Seasons of Charlie Francis." It is described as a "bold, refreshing, and darkly funny debut novel about a mixed-ancestry Mi'kmaw woman balancing academia, grief, love, and new motherhood." It will be discussed at 10am on Friday, Oct. 16 

The selected novels are available by request through the Truro Library, local booksellers, and online options.

Participation is by donation or free to CHS members.
