THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8th<br />
ROWLEY BOOK CLUB<br />
The Rowley Book Club will be reading<br />
The queen of the night by Alexander<br />
Chee, a New York Times Editor’s Choice.<br />
Lilliet Berne is a sensation of the Paris<br />
Opera, a legendary soprano with every<br />
accolade except an original role, every<br />
singer’s chance at immortality. When<br />
one is finally offered to her, she realizes<br />
with alarm that the libretto is based on<br />
a hidden piece of her past. As she mines<br />
her memories for clues as to who could<br />
have betrayed her, she recalls her life<br />
as an orphan who left the American<br />
frontier for Europe and was swept up<br />
into the glitzy, gritty world of Second<br />
Empire Paris. From hippodrome rider<br />
to courtesan, from empress’s maid to<br />
debut singer, she transforms herself<br />
amid a complicated web of romance,<br />
obligation, and political intrigue. Join us<br />
for a discussion on Thursday, February<br />
8 at 6:30 p.m. Check our web site for<br />
future titles. The Rowley Public Library<br />
is located at 141 Main Street and is fully<br />
accessible. For more information, call<br />
