We missed the discussion of Sapiens that many of you were looking forward to.  Depending on how the Zoom meeting is received, we may want to schedule a meeting to discuss it.  Let tonilin@aol.com know how  you feel about it.

Next Year in Havana —  After the death of her beloved grandmother, a Cuban-American woman travels to Havana, where she discovers the roots of her identity–and unearths a family secret hidden since the revolution… Arriving in Havana, Marisol comes face-to-face with the contrast of Cuba’s tropical, timeless beauty and its perilous political climate. When more family history comes to light and Marisol finds herself attracted to a man with secrets of his own, she’ll need the lessons of her grandmother’s past to help her understand the true meaning of courage.
