UNB Alumni Book Club

UNB Alumni Book Club graphic

Join our virtual community to connect with fellow UNB alumni, faculty and staff as we read and discuss various book genres such as lifelong learning, personal growth, novels and other topics. Participation is free!

How it works

The book club will connect through a private online forum where people can discuss the current book and socialize with each other. The group will spend two months on each book, so you'll have plenty of time to read.

Why should you join?

There are three main reasons we hope you'll be excited to participate in our book club:

  1. Connect with fellow alumni in an online social environment
  2. Discover new books that you might have otherwise completely overlooked
  3. Reading is good for you!

The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon Maine

The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon Maine, 1789: When the Kennebec River freezes, entombing a man in the ice, midwife and healer Martha Ballard is summoned to examine the body and determine cause of death.

Her diary is a record of every birth and death, crime and debacle that unfolds in the close-knit community. Over the course of one winter, as the trial nears, and whispers and prejudices mount, Martha doggedly pursues the truth.
