Join the Orangeville Public Library and Hospice Dufferin for the 100% Certainty Book Club, where books inspire thoughtful discussions about grief, hope, loss and resilience. For our June meeting, we are looking forward to discussing "What We Lose" by Zinzi Clemmons.
"From an author of rare, haunting power, a stunning novel about a young African-American woman coming of age—a deeply felt meditation on race, sex, family, and country
Raised in Pennsylvania, Thandi views the world of her mother’s childhood in Johannesburg as both impossibly distant and ever present. She is an outsider wherever she goes, caught between being black and white, American and not. She tries to connect these dislocated pieces of her life, and as her mother succumbs to cancer, Thandi searches for an anchor—someone, or something, to love."
Copies of the book will be available to borrow. Please register in advance.
The meeting will be held at Hospice Dufferin - 30 Centre Street.
