The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride

English Book Club, organized by Klaus Reinhardt, Freiburg

Love Books? Join the English Book Club at the Carl-Schurz-Haus library.

This is a self-organized group of book lovers, from places near and far, from students to retired. We invite you to join us, usually on the last Thursday of the month at 7:00 pm at the library of the Carl-Schurz-Haus, to discuss (mostly) contemporary fictional literature in English.

We welcome participants of all ages and levels of English. All you need to do is read the book, come to the meeting, share your thoughts about it, and be open for other opinions. Occasionally we will vote on new books, and we welcome your suggestions (contact: klausrei[at]t-online.de). We look forward to meeting you and having some great discussions!

This month, we read:
The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride
Workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, find a skeleton – the long-held secret kept by the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows.

No registration needed, but welcome: Klaus Reinhardt, klausrei@t-online.de
