Women’s Book Club
Thursday, April 27 at 7:00
We are reading Beloved by Toni Morrison. Sethe was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not free. Sethe has too many memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. And Sethe’s new home is haunted by the ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved.
We will offer this meeting in a hybrid format, in person and Zoom. For additional information please contact Suzanne Lee (leeharris@frontiernet.net )
