Please join us to discuss American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins. This New York Times bestseller and Oprah pick has been compared to The Grapes of Wrath; it has also been slammed by Mexican critics as a “harmful, stereotypical, damaging representation of our experiences.” Why not read it and decide for yourself? This is sure to be a lively discussion. Feel free to stay afterwards and join the Friends of the Libraries Hamakua for their annual membership meeting!

All books are chosen by members of the group. Copies are available at the library’s circulation desk.
