This month we’re chatting about: The Strange Noble Death of Babs Dionne by Ron Currie

Here’s your chance to explore the dark, mythic underpinnings of The Savage, Noble Death of Babs Dionne. This will offer up a gripping literary thriller centered on Babs, a formidable crime matriarch in small-town Maine.

As Babs juggles a missing daughter, a malevolent enforcer, and a spiraling drug empire, the novel delves into themes of family loyalty, ancestral legacy, and the price of vengeance.

With a cast of unforgettable characters you’ll want to live with long past the book’s ending, including Babs’s tough-as-nails lieutenants and her Marine vet daughter Lori, Currie paints a vivid portrait of love, loss, and power dynamics.

The death of Sis sets off a cascade of events that will leave no one in Little Canada untouched, culminating in an explosive reckoning.
We’ll discuss the novel’s sharp wit, emotional depth, and its exploration of how ancestral ties can nurture or imprison us. Is Babs a hero, a villain, or something in between? How does the story balance crime, mythology, and profound empathy?

Come ready to debate, theorize, and marvel at this unforgettable tale of a woman’s wrath and the family legacy she both protects and redefines.
