Book Club…The Mothers (by Brit Bennett)
THURS Feb 8 @ 7:30 pm Host: Viki Deardorff
PLEASE RSVP: email suemstapleton@gmail.com
A powerful novel about motherhood, friendship and finding love with a broken heart. Young Nadia Turner has her world turned upside down when, just after her mother commits suicide, she discovers she’s pregnant with the pastor’s son’s child. Nadia finds solace in her friend Aubrey, but as time goes by, her past decisions invade the present, and a new wave of wounds. The Mothers ambitiously tackles heavy circumstances, but the hope of these young black women and Bennett’s ability to convey the ferocity of what it means have a mother, to be a mother, and to want a mother, make this novel a resoundingly magnetic and essential read.
