   1. Hi June! Joining is easy! First, obtain a copy of the current book (we’re reading Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi). Then, read the book club article (updated every Tuesday) for the assigned chapters each week. At the end of the month, join us on Zoom for our group discussion. Our February session is this Thursday, February 27th at 4:30pm ET. Click here for details!

6. Enjoyed the first section, and the writing style. The way the family members are described makes you feel as if you know them.

   1. Yes Pat I felt the same way, nostalgic, things that were going on in that area was going on in other parts of the world too.

7. I started the book about the New Orleans Yellow House east of downtown . It seems the house was full of sorrowful stories like the death of the author’s father. It was falling apart and no one could build it back properly due to lack of funds or decisions to pay for private school.

   1. Enjoying the book, especially the family descriptions & dynamics. I grew up in Florida, where hurricanes like Betsy were/are common & can relate to going through that as a child, the fear & how families, houses and neighborhoods are forever changed. I’m familiar with the geography of East NOLA, from friends who grew up near there.
      Good choice.
