📚 Sober Denver Book Club — May Meetup

📚 Sober Denver Book Club — May Meetup!

Join Sober Denver this May for our monthly book club as we dive into Cleopatra: A Novel by Saara El-Arifi.

This bold and immersive novel reimagines the life of one of history’s most misunderstood women—told in her own voice. Rather than the myths of seduction and scandal, this story centers Cleopatra as a strategist, a leader, and a woman navigating power, survival, and identity in a world determined to define her. It’s a rich exploration of legacy, liberation, and what it means to reclaim your story in the face of systems that try to rewrite it.

Whether you’ve read every page or are just curious, all are welcome. Come connect, reflect, and be in community with others on a similar path.
