Darrington Book Group - "The World Played Chess" by Robert Dugoni
Join us on the first Tuesday of the month for book discussion & socializing. For the August 4th meeting, we will read The World Played Chess by Robert Dugoni.
In 1979, Vincent Bianco has just graduated high school. His only desire: collect a little beer money and enjoy his final summer before college. So he lands a job as a laborer on a construction crew. Working alongside two Vietnam vets, one suffering from PTSD, Vincent gets the education of a lifetime. Now forty years later, with his own son leaving for college, the lessons of that summer--Vincent's last taste of innocence and first taste of real life--dramatically unfold in a novel about breaking away, shaping a life, and seeking one's own destiny.
Copies of the book will be available at the Darrington Library during the month of July on a first come, first served basis.
