Book Group Meeting — June 7, Tuesday — 2 pm

Posted on May 19, 2016 by tq

RSVP to jendan@gmail.com.

Please join us for our June book discussion.

Date: Tuesday, June 7

Time: 14:00 (new time)

Location: Libros del Pasaje, Thames 1762

For the month of June we will be discussing God Help the Child, by Toni Morrison. Published in 2015. 194 pages. Available on Amazon and at your local US library by electronic borrowing.

Spare and unsparing, God Help the Child—the first novel by Nobel-prize winner Toni Morrison to be set in our current moment—weaves a tale about the way the sufferings of childhood can shape, and misshape, the life of the adult.

“Emotionally-wrenching . . . [Morrison’s] literary craftsmanship endures with sparse language, precise imagery, and even humor. This haunting novel displays a profound understanding of American culture and an unwavering sense of justice and forgiveness.”
–Publishers Weekly
