It’s time to welcome the flavors of fall to the Salisbury Community Cooking Club!

September Book Club
September 24th at 7pm at the Library
Shattuck’s inventive, exquisite stories transport readers from 1700s Nantucket to the contemporary woods of New Hampshire and beyond—into landscapes both enduring and unmistakably modern. Memories, artifacts, paintings, and journals resurface in surprising and poignant ways among evocative beaches, forests, and orchards, revealing the secrets, misunderstandings, and love that linger across centuries. Join us for a discussion of this love letter to New England which is a radiant conversation between past and present, and a moving meditation on the abiding search for home.
