Item Description

The counterculture movement galvanized writers like Betty Friedan and Rachel Carson around important social issues and events. Please join Wanda M. Holland Greene for tea and a book discussion as she leads a conversation with bestselling author Susan Minot. Minot's latest novel, Thirty Girls, is inspired by the tragic kidnapping of 30 Ugandan schoolgirls by the Lord's Resistance Army. She describes the efforts of two characters to make sense of the world: Esther, one of the kidnappees who made it to a rehabilitation center, and Jane, an American expat reporter covering the story. The New York Times review praises Minot, who "takes huge questions and examines them with both a delicate touch and a cleareyed, unyielding scrutiny."

Each guest will receive an autographed copy of Thirty Girls.
