About this event

Virtual "Hooked on Books" Book Club


Description:
A Book Club Discussion group that is interested in reading literary fiction, historical fiction, memoirs—books that will lend themselves to good discussions. We meet on the first Tuesday, every other month: February, April, June, August, October, December.

 

For the month of October we will be reading "The Vanishing Half" by Britt Bennett.

“The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black

community and running away at age sixteen, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults,

it's everything: their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her

black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for white, and her

white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, even separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates

of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation, when their own daughters' storylines

intersect?” (Source: Amazon.com)

Please register on the TVIH Calendar and join us on Zoom with Maureen Kelley leading the discussion of Brit

Bennett’s #1 New York Times bestselling novel.
