In our book discussions, get to know works by authors who are Black, Indigenous and people of colour.

Over the next four weeks, read "Park Avenue" by Renée Ahdieh, then meet with others to share thoughts and impressions in a librarian-led discussion.

As the daughter of Korean bodega owners, Jia Song promised herself that she would have every luxury when she grew up, and it is all finally within reach. She has just made junior partner at her Manhattan law firm, she can count on her two best friends to have her back and she is about to score the Birkin bag of her dreams. So when her boss asks her to sit in on the hush-hush family implosion of a high-level client, she accepts, only to find out that it is one of the most famous Korean families in the world.

Wednesday, September 23, 6:00pm at McGill.
