BookTalk for Adults Beloved by Toni Morrison, Wednesday, August 27 @ 7pm – for dessert and discussion

Wednesday, August 27 @ 7pm – BookTalk for Adults Beloved by Toni Morrison, for dessert and discussion.

Staring unflinchingly into the abyss of slavery, this novel transforms history into a story as powerful as Exodus and as intimate as a lullaby.  Sethe, its protagonist, was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not free.  She has too many memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened and Sethe’s new home is haunted by the ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word:  Beloved.

Mark Schenker, Dean of Academic Affairs, Yale College is our discussion leader.  Dessert and Discussion begin at 7pm.  For more information, please call the Library at (203) 838-5038.  Multiple copies of the books are available at the library.  This program is co-sponsored by the Rowayton Civic Association and is made possible in part through a grant from the Connecticut Humanities Council.  This program is free and open to the public.

Show Connecticut your Rowayton town pride!
