Contemporary Fiction: Queen Esther In-Person
Judy Levin will lead a book discussion of Queen Esther by John Irving. After forty years, John Irving returns to the world of his bestselling classic novel and Academy Award–winning film, The Cider House Rules, revisiting the orphanage in St. Cloud’s, Maine, where Dr. Wilbur Larch takes in Esther—a Viennese-born Jew whose life is shaped by anti-Semitism.
