Sunday Book Circle 📚☕️📚

Join us for a lively discussion of Jeanine Cummins’ ‘American Dirt’:

A gripping novel following a Mexican mother and son fleeing a cartel on a desperate journey to the US border.

The book sparked significant controversy on publication, with many critics and Latino writers questioning Cummins’ authority, as a non-Mexican author, to tell this story.

These debates make it a particularly rich text to explore together. Whether you loved it, struggled with it, or found yourself somewhere in between, we’d love to hear your thoughts.
