Clare Hall Book Club

Join the College’s Book Club as they discuss The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles, Penguin, Great Britain, 2022.

“The Lincoln Highway” by Amor Towles is a 592-page historical adventure novel set in the early summer of 1954. The story follows four boys, three 18-year-olds who met in a juvenile reformatory, plus a brainy 8-year-old, as they set out from Nebraska in an old Studebaker in search of a better future, with a few detours along the way.1 The book is remarkably brisk, remarkably buoyant, and permeated with light, wit, and youth. Towles has snipped off a minuscule strand of existence – 10 wayward days – and when we look through his lens, we see that this brief interstice teems with stories, grand as legends. 

All College members are welcome to attend in-person, meeting in Clare Hall’s Meeting Room, or via Zoom. If you are not on the mailing list and would like to be, please send an email to gloria.carnevali@icloud.com, confirming your Clare Hall connection and putting the following as the email title: I would like to join the Book Club mailing list.
