Join us for Homewood Library’s newest book club and read books and authors from all over the world.

This month’s focus is Italy with the book A Girl Returned. “I was the Arminuta, the girl returned. I spoke another language, I no longer knew who I belonged to. The word ‘mama’ stuck in my throat like a toad. And, nowadays, I really have no idea what kind of place mother is. It is not mine in the way one might have good health, a safe place, certainty.” Place the book on hold at hpl.pub/catalog.

Join us for Amanda Peters brilliant debut novel The Berry Pickers.  A four-year-old Mi’kmaq girl goes missing from the blueberry fields of Maine, sparking a mystery that will haunt the survivors, unravel a family, and remain unsolved for nearly fifty years. This is a stunning debut about love, race, brutality, and the balm of forgiveness. Place a copy on hold at hpl.pub/catalog.
