We’re offering five sets of Another Brooklyn by Jacqueline Woodson, a finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction 2016. If your group likes literary fiction, this could be your next read!
About the book:
They used to be inseparable. They used to be young, brave and brilliant – amazingly beautiful and terrifyingly alone. August, Sylvia, Angela and Gigi shared everything: songs, secrets, fears and dreams. But 1970s Brooklyn was also a dangerous place, where grown men reached for innocent girls, where mothers disappeared and futures vanished at the turn of a street corner.
Another Brooklyn is a heartbreaking and exquisite novel about a fleeting friendship that united four young lives.
We’d ask that groups fill out feedback forms and take to social media to talk about #AnotherBrooklyn.
