Wednesday, April 8, 2020 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 9 Deschutes County Library’s ‘A Novel Idea’ goes online Though recent events make it impossible to gather together as in years past, Deschutes Public Library will still celebrate <A Novel Idea&Read Together= in April, with Anne Griffin9s debut novel, <When All Is Said= taking center stage. <»A Novel Idea9 has taken us to new places around the globe, and to different points in time,= said Deschutes Public Library Programs Supervisor Liz Goodrich. <With our previous selection we traveled back in time but stayed in the United States. This year, we9re headed across the Atlantic. When All Is Said is a tale told from the present that explores the past, and much of that past takes place in the main character9s home country of Ireland.= This year, the library takes the entire <A Novel Idea= program to a new place, as well: online. In past years, programming drew thou- sands of book lovers to lec- tures, musical performances, art workshops, and more. But in light of recent devel- opments, programming for A Novel Idea is moving online, where people can stream lec- tures and performances that enrich various aspects of <When All Is Said,= and take part in online book clubs. <Our team had a great time organizing lectures that will allow readers to experi- ence the novel in a variety of ways,= said Goodrich. <We still plan to bring as much of that content to people as we can, albeit in a new format.= The following programs will be available online only. They are available beginning at the time listed, and will continue to be made avail- able indefinitely thereafter.

About When All Is Said: At the bar of a grand hotel in a small Irish town sits 84-year-old Maurice Hannigan. He9s alone, as usual4though tonight is anything but usual. Pull up a stool and charge your glass, because Maurice is finally ready to tell his story. Over the course of this evening, he will raise five toasts to the five people who have meant the most to him. Through these stories 4 of unspoken joy and regret, a secret trag- edy kept hidden, a fierce love that never found its voice 4 the life of one is poignantly laid bare. Beautifully heart- warming and powerfully felt, the voice of Maurice Hannigan will stay with read- ers long after all is said and done.
