February brought us to Terry and Debbie's house reading The Trees by Percival Everett. We had read James by Percival Everett and loved it. This novel, published in 2021 is a satire focusing on racism and police brutality. We talked about how the author can bring our attention to the injustices, violence and unfairnesses in our history and present in a way that keeps us engaged and thinking. we were also struck by his creation of circumstances that are happening now in 2026! This led to some handwringing of what is to come in our politically tumultuous time. Thankfully, we were able to drown our worries with icecream and chose
The Land in Winter by Andrew Miller. We are meeting at Chrysanne's on April 13th at 5:30.
