Night Owl Book Club In-Person
Please join us for a discussion of The Five by Hallie Rubenhold.
Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine and Mary-Jane are famous for the same thing, though they never met. They came from Fleet Street, Knightsbridge, Wolverhampton, Sweden and Wales. They wrote ballads, ran coffee houses, lived on country estates, they breathed ink-dust from printing presses and escaped people-traffickers.
What they had in common was the year of their murders: 1888.
Their murderer was never identified, but the name created for him by the press has become far more famous than any of these five women.
In this devastating narrative of five lives, historian Hallie Rubenhold finally gives these women back their stories.
For adults ages 18 and up. Registration opens November 12. Please call the Thomas Branch at 219-926-7696 for book availability and registration.
