This month's book will be "The Vanishing Half" by Brit Bennet
The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, even separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation, when their own daughters' storylines intersect?
The library has limited copies available. When registering, please indicate if you will need a copy and where you want to pick it up. If you are placed on the waitlist, we can invite you to the meeting, but you will need to get a copy of the book on your own. Please call the Farmington Library 860.673.6791with any questions.
