Monday Night Book Group

This month's selection is The Bookseller of Kabul by Asne Seierstad. It is nonfiction. “This mesmerizing portrait of a proud man who, through three decades and successive repressive regimes, heroically braved persecution to bring books to the people of Kabul, has elicited extraordinary praise throughout the world and become a phenomenal international bestseller. The Bookseller of Kabul is startling in its intimacy and its details — a revelation of the plight of Afghan women and a window into the surprising realities of daily life in Afghanistan.” (Amazon) Copies of the book will be available in advance of the meeting. The Bookseller of Kabul is also available on Hoopla as an ebook. First-time members should send an email to ruthcirc@bccls.org to get started. Rutherford - Glass Room, Rutherford Free Public Library
