March Book Club - Petals of Blood @ TBD

Come read & drink with us!

For March, we are reading Petals of Blood by Ngũgĩ Wa Thiong'o.

"The puzzling murder of three African directors of a foreign-owned brewery sets the scene for this fervent, hard-hitting novel about disillusionment in independent Kenya. A deceptively simple tale, Petals of Blood is on the surface a suspenseful investigation of a spectacular triple murder in upcountry Kenya. Yet as the intertwined stories of the four suspects unfold, a devastating picture emerges of a modern third-world nation whose frustrated people feel their leaders have failed them time after time."

As a reminder, this meetup's intentions are to be out and about in the city, exploring new places for drinks and discussions about books. Will post a location ASAP. Taking recommendations for locations if you have one in mind!
