Next book up for the March discussion for the Omnibus Book Club is The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry. Waterloo Bridge, London. An exquisitely talented young British author makes her American debut with this rapturously acclaimed historical novel, set in late nineteenth-century England, about an intellectually minded young widow, a pious vicar, and a rumored mythical serpent that explores questions about science and religion, skepticism, and faith, independence and love.
