Stratford Library Sets Zoom Book Talk

Nov 13, 2020 Stephen Krauchick

The Stratford Library “Books Over Coffee” program continues with an online discussion of Christina Baker Kline’s historical drama, The Exiles, on Wednesday, November 18.  The online Zoom program, hosted by Linda LiDestri, will be held between 12-1 pm.  The book talk is free and open to the public.

While her Orphan Train and A Piece of the World were…
