Tuesdays, 11:00 am – 12:00 pm, in-person & via Zoom

Join a weekly in-person/virtual book club and read along/read aloud with group leader, Linda Ohlson Graham.  Each session will focus on Time and the Town: A Provincetown Chronicle by Mary Heaton Vorse.  Linda Ohlson Graham, will read aloud from the book while encouraging other participants to read along or aloud as well. Continuing every Tuesday until the book is finished. Join at any time!

Time and the Town was the last of Mary Heaton Vorse's books. It is about many things —a town and its people, the author, a certain kind of idyllic life. As much as anything else, it is the biography of the house Vorse bought in 1907 and lived in, off and on, for the next thirty-six years. 

Tinged with nostalgia and disenchantment, the book describes a Provincetown that has changed, a place on the verge of modernity. It is no longer a major fishing port. It has become a place whose business is tourism. Contrasting the old and the new, Vorse celebrates the enduring character of the town itself.
