PAGE TURNERS
Page Turners April selection is The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry. As described on Goodreads.com: “An exquisitely talented young British author makes her American debut with this rapturously acclaimed historical novel, set in late nineteenth-century England.” The book concerns “an intellectually minded young widow, a pious vicar and a rumored mythical serpent that explores questions about science and religion, skepticism, faith, independence and love.” The Washington Post wrote: “An irresistible new novel…the most delightful heroine since Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice…By the end, The Essex Serpent identifies a mystery far greater than some creature ‘from the illuminated margins of a manuscript’: friendship.”
