“The Majestic westward-flowing river went without a name for millions of years, but for nearly four thousand years she was called Wimah, Big River, by the first immigrants to her shores. Since 113 years before Aino’s arrival, she has been called the Columbia.” — from the novel Deep RiverJoin us a week from this Thursday, on October 16, for our Sandy-led discussion of Deep River by Marlantes, a fellow Oregonian of the Vietnam era age.

It’s a long but captivating story about logging in the early 1900’s, early days & dangers of unionizing, a deep look into the heartiness of the working class of the day, and the universality of human struggles amid different eras.

I’m almost done and ready to hear what you all think!

Coffee and snacks plus a welcome by Norman the cuddle dog.
