“I Am You" by Victoria Redel
Join with other book enthusiasts in an in-depth discussion of the chosen book at our monthly Book Club.  Books can be found at the Narberth Library, or on ​Amazon.com.   ​Please let us know when you sign up whether you intend to attend the discussion at Borough Hall, or call in through Zoom.

​
Last Session: “I am You" by Victoria Redel:  In the mid-1600s in the Netherlands, eight-year-old Gerta Pieters is forced by circumstances to pose as a boy and go work for an upper-class Dutch family.  There she meets the beautiful and talented Maria van Oosterwijck, who finds this particular servant of her father fascinating.  When Maria learns Gerta’s secret, she insists that Gerta come with her to Amsterdam, to become her maid and help her to break into the prominently male-dominated art society.  So begins a tale of two women in a world where men rule, working together to gain success independent of anyone but themselves.

But Gerta has talents of her own, talents that begin to match and perhaps overwhelm Maria’s brilliance.  And as Gerta grows into her potential, what began as a strange but beautiful friendship begins to twist into a far uglier image of obsession and rivalry, while the secrets that both women keep threaten to destroy everything that they have gained.

In this fictional, re-imagined look at the life of renowned painter Maria van Oosterwijck, author Victoria Redel offers a speculative look at the roles of gender and friendship in the art community during the Dutch Golden Age, challenging everything that was assumed about a woman who, while famous in her time, has faded into obscurity and legend,

Next Movies:
“Snow Falling On Cedars”: Monday, October 5 (Rescheduled from Sept 28) from 1 PM - 4PM, IN PERSON ONLY at Ashbridge House in Bryn Mawr -- Based upon the novel written by David Guterson, this emotionally charged murder mystery where a Japanese American fisherman is accused of killing his Caucasian neighbor at sea explores questions of prejudice, justice, and love, all set to the backdrop of a Pacific Northwest island with a mixed-race population less than ten years after the end of World War II. 

​It is the year 1950, and fisherman Carl Heine, Jr. of Mossyrock, Washington, has been found dead after a foggy night at sea, with a severe would in his head.  His childhood friend and fellow fisherman Kazuo Miyamoto is accused of murder and put on trial on the island they both live on -- An island with a mixed-race population still recovering from the scars of World War II.  Meanwhile, reporter Ishmael Chambers, the former lover of Kazuo’s wife, Hatsue, decides to do his own independent investigation into the incident.  While Kazuo struggles to prove his innocence against a Caucasian prosecutor intent on painting him as evil incarnate, Ishmael faces his own personal demons as his investigation turns up an unexpected twist that could crack the case. Past and present unfold together in an emotionally charged courtroom, and it soon becomes clear that the story is far more complicated than anyone thought, and that finding the truth could depend as much upon matters of the heart as upon what the evidence presented shows.
