      For October, we'll be reading Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage by Belle Burden (husband antagonist character attended Yale Law). #1 New York Times Bestseller. Netflix adaptation starring Gwyneth Paltrow in progress. A cautionary tale of the financial risks in marriage for women. Burden was born into a prominent and wealthy family. She was a lawyer, but she sidelined her career to support her husband and the demands of his job at a New York hedge fund, and to care for their children. They lived a lavish lifestyle for twenty years. Then, with no warning or explanation, her husband announced that he was leaving her. Overnight, her caring, steady partner became a man she hardly recognized. She was left with no income, and an ill-advised change to their prenuptial agreement in the days before her wedding left her with no claim to the wealth they had amassed during marriage.

In-person seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Join Gilder Lehrman Center director David W. Blight and author Connor Williams for a discussion of this important new book. What can Americans learn about our divided country today from the Civil War that divided us in the past? Connor Williams’s "The Confederacy Myth" answers that question with a blistering historical exposé that reframes our understanding of the Confederacy towards with what it really was - a relatively small insurrection of uncompromising fanatics that plunged the nation into its deadliest war. In his new book, Williams reveals the truth about the Confederacy by unraveling its myths and uncovering its perilous political tactics, irate ideologies, reckless brand of warfare, impotent governance, and enduring commitment to slavery. Most importantly, Williams reminds us why the United States prevailed in the Civil War: five out of six Americans resisted the Confederate insurgency and instead put everything on the line to fight for democracy so that our Republic would have a new birth of freedom.

      Add to Calendar 2026-10-28T19:00:00 2026-10-28T20:15:00 America/New_York Yale Club of Vermont Online Book Club: “Country People” by Daniel Mason Daniel Mason’s critically acclaimed and inventive 2023 novel, North Woods, was set in rural Western Massachusetts. In his new quirky and highly creative novel, Country People, we land firmly in Vermont. An academic couple has moved from California for the wife to take a visiting professor gig at a small Southern Vermont college. She is a renowned Milton scholar; her husband Miles is virtually unemployable after working on his dissertation for over a decade, and getting nowhere. The Vermont setting is the perfect foundation on which to build this gentle satire, focused around Miles and his overly-romanticized notions about rural life. For example, when Miles considers writing about Russian peasants, he imagines meeting Vermont “country people” will help his research. Mason creates a cast of characters that could populate a “Keep Vermont Weird” campaign, offering them up with both affection and parody. In a fantastical sub-plot, some natives believe they are close to discovering caves in Vermont that lead down to an entire other world stored inside the earth. This through line underscores the bit of myth, hope, magical thinking, community and the power of storytelling that gives this book a special heart. Plenty to enjoy!
