In Bedford, MA. we have a program called One Book, One Bedford...
The library picks one book every year and everyone in the town is supposed to read it and then we meet and discuss it at the Town Meeting.
This years book is 'You Know When The Men are Gone" by Soibhan Fallon.
It is a loosely connected series of tales about domestic life at Ft Hood military base in Texas. A life that most civilians will never be a part of. Stories of ordinary, everyday people, managing life while their partners are on a tour of duty elsewhere. So far, it is a gripping read that I recommend to anyone looking for an interesting book.
It was selected because it offers many topics for discussion and because it has so many connection to my town (Hanscom AFB, Veterans Administration Medical Center, all the defense contractors in the area). but I think it would be fascinating for anyone
