“…a novel inspired by the true story of Malaga Island, an isolated island off the coast of Maine that
became one of the first racially integrated towns in the Northeast... A spellbinding story of resistance
and survival, This Other Eden is an enduring testament to the struggle to preserve human dignity in
the face of intolerance and injustice.”

About Ready Readers

The Ready Readers book group meets monthly on Zoom (2nd Tuesday of the month, 3 – 4:30 p.m.), and reads a variety of both fiction and non-fiction, chosen by the members from among books “nominated” by the members. Usually the person who nominated the book will lead the discussion. Members who cannot do Zoom may visit another member’s home to participate in the meeting. Currently the group has 11 members, both men and women. New members are welcome! The group was formed in 2013. Current co-leaders are Sallie Craig Huber and Charmian Proskauer.
