SUMMARY:IHSI Book Club - December 2026
DESCRIPTION:IHSI Book Club – December 2026\nDecember 16th – I’ll Steal You Away by Niccolo Ammaniti \nSummary \nIschiano Scalo. A place where even the main road out to the nearest big town gives up after a couple of miles\, where escape from a life of boredom and emptiness is almost impossible. Forced into crimes he never wanted to commit\, Pietro reaches crisis point when his parents ignore his pleas for help and his schoolteacher turns her back on him – in desperation\, he reaches out for attention\, and finds instead a terrible revenge. Escape from Ischiano Scalo comes at a price. Life there will never be the same again. \nClub & Book Discussion Leader: Ray Brown (ray.e.brown@sbcglobal.net) \nFormat: Lunch & Socialize @ 12pm; book discussion follows. \nRSVP (rowlettmm@aol.com) appreciated\, but not required. \nNo cost to participate apart from covering your own lunch order & obtaining books. \n			December 16\n	  @\n12:00 pm\n\n	\n	Add to calendar	\n		\n	\n \n\n\n	Google Calendar\n\n\n	iCalendar\n\n\n	Outlook 365\n\n\n	Outlook Live\n\n\n\n	Meridian Hills Country Club\n\n7099 Spring Mill Rd\n		\n		Indianapolis\,\n	IN\n	46260\n	United States\n\n\n	+ Google Map \n\n					\n						\n	 \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n				IHSI Book Club – November 2026
