SUMMARY:June 2025 Book Group
DESCRIPTION:The Scandinavia Public Library book group will meet on Tuesday, June 24 to discuss ““Homegoing“ by Yaa Gyasi.\nFika (beverages and treats) begins at 3:40 p.m. with the discussion following at 4:00 p.m..\nCopies of the book are available to pick up at the library, or you can place a hold through InfoSoup: https://infosoup.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S181C737076\n+++++\n\nINTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER\nWINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE’S JOHN LEONARD PRIZE\nWINNER OF THE PEN / HEMINGWAY AWARD FOR DEBUT FICTION\nONE OF OPRAH’S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR\nGhana, eighteenth century: two half sisters are born into different villages, each unaware of the other. One will marry an Englishman and lead a life of comfort in the palatial rooms of the Cape Coast Castle. The other will be captured in a raid on her village, imprisoned in the very same castle, and sold into slavery.\nHomegoing follows the parallel paths of these 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.\n\n+++++\nBook Group meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month from January through November. We do not meet in December. Watch our website calendar or our Facebook page for the most recent updates!\nWe read books across most genres as well as some non-fiction. Anyone is welcome to attend who has read, or is interested in, the current month’s book and would like to participate in friendly discussion. Members are welcome to attend one meeting or all of them as their interests and schedules permit.\n
