Attendees at our recent book club meeting chose the book Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi as our next book. Hope you can join us!
The Washington Post reviewer Ron Charles notes:
If there are any skeptics left, they can stand down now. “Homegoing” wasn’t beginner’s luck. Gyasi’s new novel, “Transcendent Kingdom,” is a book of blazing brilliance. What’s more, it’s entirely unlike “Homegoing.” That debut, as many fans know, is a collection of linked stories that sweeps across four centuries with a vast group of characters in ever changing settings. In a completely different register, “Transcendent Kingdom” is still and ruminative — a novel of profound scientific and spiritual reflection that recalls the works of Richard Powers and Marilynne Robinson.
We will be meeting over Zoom. If you register, you will be sent a link to the Zoom the week of the club meeting.
