Our next get together (via Zoom) will be on Monday, June 7 at 10:30am. At that time, we will discuss THE INVENTION OF WINGS by Sue Monk Kidd:

Hetty “Handful” Grimke, an urban slave in early nineteenth century Charleston, yearns for life beyond the suffocating walls that enclose her within the wealthy Grimke household. The Grimke’s daughter, Sarah, has known from an early age she is meant to do something large in the world, but she is hemmed in by the limits imposed on women.

Kidd’s sweeping novel is set in motion on Sarah’s eleventh birthday, when she is given ownership of ten year old Handful, who is to be her handmaid. We follow their remarkable journeys over the next thirty five years, as both strive for a life of their own, dramatically shaping each other’s destinies and forming a complex relationship marked by guilt, defiance, estrangement and the uneasy ways of love.

I will send an email with the Zoom invitation a few days before the Book Club meeting. Please contact me at ediewolf@gmail.com or 443.223.9729 if you need any information.
