Written in 1937. She was way ahead of her time. Fascinating novel about the African American experience.

More Patron Picks!

Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier

Beautiful Civil War love story. Enthralling, haunting.

Light on Snow by Anita Shreve

Beautifully written mystery.

The Little Russian by Susan Sherman

If the worst was the Holocaust, this tells the story of a close second. Very engaging.

Death comes to Pemberley by P.D. James

Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is my favorite book. This P.D. James' book is a fine addition to Jane's book and I hope P.D. James will carry on with the Darcy family!

The Lovely Bones by Alice Seybold

If you liked the movie, you'll like the book probably more! It goes into such depth, exploring hearts and minds. A love story, suspenseful, imaginative, deep.

Patron Picks is still happening!

Here  are what some of our patrons had to say about their picks:

Stork by Wendy Delsol

Sixteen-year-old Katla discovers she has some mystical power! She's enlisted into a secret society of 'Storks'.

A Good Man by Guy Vanderhaeghe

A tale of two countries in 1870. Written with respect for readers and subject. A master of the metaphor.

Masterpieces of Murder by Agatha Christie

'And then there were none' is my all-time favorite story, and the movie has a different ending.

Big Stone Gap by Andriana Trigiani

First of a series about a woman growing up in Appalachia who uncovers the mystery of her Italian family.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett

About being a black maid in a white world. Great character development and perspective.
