My book club had a passionate discussion about Family at Booknook this evening. We are an older group of college-educated women and well remember the stigma of teenagers having babies out of wedlock. One member was angry with Sparrow that it took her so long to grow up. Others explained why it took so long. It was as though Sparrow was a person they knew.
As a group we tend to visit and skip around, but tonight we focused on the novel and issues that concern women. It was exciting. If other book clubs would like to read Booknook, I’ve written discussion questions and would be happy to visit with them.

I am so excited to finally comment on this wonderful book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Brenda's story of Sparrow, Finch, Uncle Dave... It is TRULY entertaining, moving and inspiring! I don't belong to a bookclub but am curious about those discussion questions, Brenda.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to meeting the author!

Good to see that you are so busy with promotions. I used to teach in the Adrian area and many of my students later went to the CMH Adult Day Program for continuing social engagement. KK
