WORDS Book Group

This book group focuses on authors and stories that explore diverse and underrepresented voices and experiences.
This month's book is "A Burning" by Megha Majumdar.
A little about the book:
Jivan is a Muslim girl from the slums, determined to move up in life, who is accused of executing a terrorist attack on a train because of a careless comment on Facebook. PT Sir is an opportunistic gym teacher who hitches his aspirations to a right-wing political party, and finds that his own ascent becomes linked to Jivan's fall. Lovely--an irresistible outcast whose exuberant voice and dreams of glory fill the novel with warmth and hope and humor--has the alibi that can set Jivan free, but it will cost her everything she holds dear.
Books will be available at the Main Desk at the Nevins Library for one month before this meeting. New members are always welcome.
