Groundwork Book Club
Our next meeting is Wednesday, August 20, at 6:00pm (please add to your calendar). The novel is Salvage the Bones, by Jesmyn Ward.
Salvage the Bones, a National Book Award Winning novel, is a gritty but tender story of family and poverty in the 12 days leading up to Hurricane Katrina and then its aftermath. It focuses on familial love and community against all odds, and a wrenching look at the lonesome, brutal, and restrictive realities of rural poverty and the impact of natural disaster.
Salvage the Bones is available at Werner Books. Please pick up your copy and dig in!
