Great Lakes/Great Books is a monthly discussion group of books that have the Great Lakes as setting or subject matter. All are welcome, whether or not you have read the book. No registration is required.

This month's selection is  A Lesser Light: A Novel  by Peter Geye.

It's 1910 and Theodulf Sauer has finally achieved a position befitting his ego: master lighthouse keeper at a newly commissioned station towering above Lake Superior. His wife, Willa, arrives on the first spring ferry, having been rushed into an ill-suited and arranged marriage by her scheming widowed mother. As the lighthouse station establishes, the new relationship teeters between tense and hostile, with little mutual understanding or tenderness.
