Mosinee: Book Club: “The Glassmaker” by Tracy Chevalier

This event has been canceled due to inclement weather. Join library staff and fellow book lovers to discuss “The Glassmaker” by Tracy Chevalier for our April book club.
In 1486, Orsola Rosso is the eldest daughter in a family of glassblowers in Murano, Italy. As a woman, she is not meant to blow glass—but when her father dies, she teaches herself to make beads in secret, and her work becomes the cornerstone of the Rosso family fortunes. Skipping like a stone through the centuries, we follow Orsola and her family as they live through creative triumph and heartbreaking loss, from a plague rearing its head over Venice to Continental soldiers stripping its palazzos bare, from the domination of Murano and its maestros to the transformation of the city of trade into a city of tourists. In every era, the Rosso women ensure that their work, and their bonds, endure.
No registration is required, and all are welcome! Stop by the library for a copy of the book to check out. For more information, please contact us at 715-693-2144.
