Our newly renamed book discussion group will meet to discuss Colson Whitehead’s prizewinning novel, The Underground Railroad (2016). This harrowing story of enslavement, escape, and not yet freedom is, “a shattering, powerful meditation on the history we all share.”

Page Turners meets monthly and reads both classic and contemporary works. All are welcome. To join the group’s email list, please contact Sue Lanser at lanser@brandeis.edu.

Coming up next month: September 16th, The House of Mirth (1905) by Edith Wharton. A novel about the social and economic constraints on women’s lives in New York at the turn of the last century.
