Pop-Up Book Discussion - The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett In-Person
Join us for a pop-up book discussion in celebration of author, Brit Bennett's visit to our city to present for the Rochester Speakers Series on April 21. More details here. We are reading her bestseller from 2020, The Vanishing Half: "The Vignes sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything, including their racial identities." We will discuss the book's themes of racial identity, family, and the impact of the past.
Registrants will be entered into a drawing to win tickets to hear Brit Bennett speak in Rochester on April 21 or a signed copy of one of her bestsellers, courtesy of the Rochester Speakers Series.
