Details
Join the Library's longest running book club on the 2nd Thursday of every month to discuss a new book! This month, we are reading Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi. Copies are available at the Downtown Information Desk. We will meet in person in the Downtown Library Community Room and simultaneously on Zoom.
Homegoing follows the parallel paths of two sisters and their descendants through eight generations: from the Gold Coast to the plantations of Mississippi, from the American Civil War to Jazz Age Harlem. Yaa Gyasi’s extraordinary novel illuminates slavery’s troubled legacy both for those who were taken and those who stayed—and shows how the memory of captivity has been inscribed on the soul of our nation.
