Event Details
Page Turner Junction Book Club explores both fiction and nonfiction titles. Join us to try out new books and discuss them with other readers.
The book for our November meeting is The Art Thief: A True Story of Love, Crime, and a Dangerous Obsession, by Michael Finkel.
For centuries, works of art have been stolen in countless ways from all over the world, but no one has been quite as successful at it as the master thief Stéphane Breitwieser. Carrying out more than two hundred heists over nearly ten years--in museums and cathedrals all over Europe--Breitwieser, along with his girlfriend who worked as his lookout, stole more than three hundred objects, until it all fell apart in spectacular fashion.
Pick up your copy of the book at the main desk on the first floor. Please contact the Adult Services Department (630-231-1552, x4 or ask@wcpld.info) for more information.
