Cancelled – Waterworks Wednesday Book Group

Join the monthly Waterworks Wednesday Book Group for discussion of Back Bay by author William Martin. Even if you have not read the selected book you are invited to join the group for lively conversation about Boston history. All you need to bring is your curiosity – and maybe your coffee!

The Waterworks Wednesday Book Group will meet Wednesday, April 1st, at 10:00 a.m. in the museum’s upstairs Overlook Gallery. There is no admission fee. Book group meetings occur on the first Wednesday of each month.

After the book group, you are welcome to explore the museum on your own or join a guided tour. You will be able to view massive steam engines, learning about Boston’s history of Industrialization and the figures who stood at its forefront.

About the book:

Meet the Pratt clan. Driven men. Determined women. Through six turbulent generations, they would pursue a lost Paul Revere treasure. And turn a family secret into an obsession that could destroy them. Here is the novel that launched William Martin’s astonishing literary career and became an instant bestseller. From the grit and romance of old Boston to exclusive — and dangerous — Back Bay today, this sweeping saga paints an unforgettable portrait of a powerful dynasty beset by the forces of history…and a heritage of greed, lust, murder and betrayal.
