UFL Reads!: Historical Fiction

the other boleyn girl

Do the royal Tudors enthrall you? Are you mesmerized by tales of the Far East? Do you wonder about life in Germany before World War II? Or do you just want to escape from 21st century central Illinois for a few hours? Join us this summer as UFL Reads – our book club for adults – investigates past times in three acclaimed tales of historical fiction.

We will kick off UFL Reads on Sunday, June 22, with Philippa Gregory’s novel of love, sex, ambition, and intrigue in the Tudor court of Henry VIII – The Other Boleyn Girl. Join us from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. in the MacFarlane-Hood reading room located on the main level of the library.

Future UFL Reads titles will be Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, by Lisa See (July 27) and The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak (August 24.)

We have multiple editions of each of these titles. Please ask at the Adult Reference Desk if you need help finding a copy. You can also call us at 217-367-4405 or email us at reference@urbanafreelibrary.org.
