May's Middletown Book for Discussion: Days Without End (May 14)

The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Tuesday, May 14.  Our title is Days Without End by Sebastian Barry. Here is a brief summary:

"Entering the U.S. army after fleeing the Great Famine in Ireland, seventeen-year-old Thomas McNulty and his brother-in-arms, John Cole, experience the harrowing realities of the Indian wars and the American Civil War between the Wyoming plains and Tennessee."  (publisher)

Here is where you can find the book:

• There are several copies available in Miami, OhioLINK, and SearchOhio libraries.  
  
• Amazon has the hardcover, paperback, and Kindle available, and Bookshop.org has links to purchase the title from independent booksellers.

Our group is always finding interesting titles to share, and we look forward to the new things you'll bring to the table.  In addition to discussing Tom Lake, the group also shared these titles for consideration at their April 19 meeting:
