Don't have time to go to a book club but would still like to discuss books? Then join a virtual book club! It's low commitment. We will post a book for the month. Around the last day of the month, we will post a discussion post. Then just add your thoughts about the book in the comments at any time.
Book for July: Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd
Questions to consider while reading:
Did this change your understanding of slavery?
What did you think of the two narrators: Handful and Sarah? What did you most admire about each?
How did each of their mothers form Handful and Sarah?
Both of them had a “baptism” moment: Handful in the copper tub and Sarah when she let go of the sea rope at the shore. What did they mean?
Handful says to Sara: “My body might be a slave, but not my mind. For you, it’s the other way around.” Do you think that’s true? How did they both find freedom?
Which of the male characters did you find most compelling?
How is this story relevant today?
