North Bethesda Fiction Readers: Behold the Dreamers

North Bethesda Fiction Readers, let's discuss Imbolo Mbue's novel, Behold the Dreamers in June. Christina Henriquez of the New York Times states, "Mbue writes with great confidence and warmth, effortlessly inhabiting the minds of" . . . her major characters. These characters come from families of significantly different origins: a town in Cameroon and Wall Street in New York City. Mbue's portrayal of these two different families affected by the 2008 financial crisis underscores her stated theme, "the American dream is not that accessible to everybody."

For July, we will read Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. If you get your books from a library, put a hold on this book NOW!
