SUMMARY:4/26: Different Eras - A Historical Fiction Book Club at Booksweet!
DESCRIPTION:4/26: Different Eras – Historical Fiction Book Club at Booksweet \nJoin us for a cozy afternoon at Booksweet for our Historical Fiction Book Club on Sunday\, April 26! We selected Brotherless Night by V V Ganeshananthan for our April read. Whether you’re a history buff or just starting to explore the genre\, this book club is for you! To help transport the club to another time and place\, we will also offer tea and refreshments! \nYour Eventbrite RSVP is so helpful to our planning! \nAbout the book \nJaffna\, 1981. Sixteen-year-old Sashi wants to become a doctor. But over the next decade\, a vicious civil war tears through her home\, and her dream spins off course as she sees her four beloved brothers and their friend K swept up in the mounting violence. Desperate to act\, Sashi accepts K’s invitation to work as a medic at a field hospital for the militant Tamil Tigers\, who\, following years of state discrimination and violence\, are fighting for a separate homeland for Sri Lanka’s Tamil minority. But after the Tigers murder one of her teachers and Indian peacekeepers arrive only to commit further atrocities\, Sashi begins to question where she stands. When one of her medical school professors\, a Tamil feminist and dissident\, invites her to join a secret project documenting human rights violations\, she embarks on a dangerous path that will change her forever. \nSet during the early years of Sri Lanka’s three-decade civil war\, Brotherless Night is a heartrending portrait of one woman’s moral journey and a testament to both the enduring impact of war and the bonds of home. \nSo… what’s this book club like? \nWe hope to invite a group of people who have read the book (or don’t mind a spoiler) to discuss their thoughts. We will bring prompts but invite anyone to pose a question or share their thoughts! \nAfter a good discussion\, the group votes on the next session’s read. Feel free to pitch a book you’ve enjoyed recently or share a new book that you want to read with the group. \nWhile we will have tea\, water\, and light refreshments (including nut-free and gluten-free options)\, Booksweet is located in The Courtyard Shops\, filled with AMAZING dining options. Food and drinks are totally welcome at the meet-up; don’t feel shy about sipping boba while we chat! \nWe hope to see you there!
