Book Discussion: Mudbound by Hillary Jordan
Thursday Book Club—Date Change (NOT THURSDAY!!)
Tuesday November 24 5:30 P.M.
In Jordan's prize-winning debut, prejudice takes many forms, both subtle and brutal. It is 1946, and city-bred Laura McAllan is trying to raise her children on her husband's Mississippi Delta farm, a place she finds foreign and frightening. In the midst of the family's struggles, two young men return from the war to work the land. The men and women of each family relate their versions of events and we are drawn into their lives as they become players in a tragedy on the grandest scale. Books will be available; please register. No meeting in December. January pick:Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
