CCR Book Club - November 15, 2025

CCR members and friends already know that a special exhibition of Italian and Canadian artist Sveva Caetani's work is currently underway at Rome's MAXXI museum, and for the November book pick the CCR Book Club has chosen "Little Fortress," written by Laisha Rosnau, who is an award-winning Canadian poet and executive director of the Caetani Centre in Vernon, British Columbia. The novel tells the story of the family's life when leaving their noble origins in Italy, during the years of isolation in their Vernon home after the death of Sveva's father, and Sveva's artistic rebirth later in life.
