Book club points for discussion
What made you choose Jack’s Farm as a selection for your book club? (directed to the individual who chose this book)
Discuss how author Joan Levy Earle transitions from her husband’s love of the farm property, and his work in repairing and renovating the farmhouse and outbuildings, to the evolution of love within their marriage.
In what ways is the deepening of love symbolized in Jack’s Farm?
Do you think the author is trying to elicit a particular response from the reader?
What are Jack Earle’s most admirable qualities? Is this someone you would want to have known?
What do we learn from Joan about the process of grieving? What aspects of this process of grieving serve to offer the tools to strengthen a marriage?
How important is the setting of this book to its theme?
How does this book relate to other books you have read? Would it make a good movie?
