Boneyard Bookworms: June Discussion

June 26 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

All are welcome to join Laurel Hill’s book club which reads and discusses a wide range of genres and topics, from historical nonfiction to contemporary novels, from science and medicine to memoir and humor.

In June we’ll discuss The Garden Against Time: In Search of a Common Paradise by Olivia Liang. In this insightful book, Laing, inspired by her own restoration of a walled garden, delves into the profound connection between gardens and the human experience, especially during challenging times. She unearths the rich history and symbolism of gardens, examining how they embody ideals of utopia, memory, and culture. Laing also thoughtfully questions the privilege and exclusion often involved in creating these “paradises,” and considers the possibilities for new ways of living in our complex modern world. Part memoir, part historical inquiry, “The Garden Against Time” offers a unique perspective on personal creativity and the deep relationship between individuals and their green spaces amidst personal and societal shifts.
