 Our book of the month is Behold the Dreamers by Imbolo Mbue. “A compulsively readable debut novel about marriage, immigration, class, race, and the trapdoors in the American Dream–the unforgettable story of a young Cameroonian couple making a new life in New York just as the Great Recession upends the economy. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST. “Mbue [is] a deft, often lyrical observer. . . . [Her] meticulous storytelling announces a writer in command of her gifts, plumbing the desires and disappointments of our emerging global culture.” –Minneapolis Star Tribune” Please contact the Library for the location of this event.
