“Book of Negroes” leads off fall list

After the group’s discussion of  our May book (Sara Gruen’s “Water for Elephants“, led by Susan), May’s meeting saw the WSR choose “Book of Negroes” by Lawrence Hill for our summer reading.

We’ll be discussing it at our first meeting of the 2009-2010 season on September 17.

“Through Black Spruce” by Joseph Boyden is set for our October pick, and “Good Earth” by Pearl S. Buck is a vintage title that will be the November book.

At the end of a another season we’d like to thank the management and staff of Collected Works for their support of the group in the past year, and ask our readers to remember Collected Works as they make their purchases for the fall list.
