Re: Cane River

We should make it the Ja.com bookclub pick since so many of us have/will read it.

I always find those books interesting too, have you read Kindred by Octavia Butler? Highly recommend it.

Re: Cane River

[seemiyah]

Re: Cane River

When we going to discuss it here? What did you like most about it?

[Bizzy]

Re: Cane River

Like how it was about her family, I like how she mek a story/novel out of history....
I loved the cross generational story-telling and the transition was so smooth that u not even realize say tings change up.

I was hooked from the first chapter and wouldn't mind if the book had went on and on

Re: Cane River

All I can say is WOW! we had such a stimulating discussion at our meeting.

PageSnatchers has 5 members so far: 2 white women, Black Jamaican (me) , Black Belizean and a Trini Indian

1 of the white ladies were missing @ this meeting but when we meet, whoever picked out the book should send out some questions that we can review and select the ones we are interested in and then we talk about it at the meeting.

My white friend selected the question: <span style="font-style: italic">CanCane River dramatizes the roots of turmoil within America's black community on issues of skin color. Emily, for example, is described by the author as being &quot;color-struck.&quot; In what ways does color-consciousness continue to afflict black and mixed-race societies today?</span>

So her answer was that it doesn't affect us now...de 3 a we jump pon it quickly and she was very shocked at all we had to share.

We all come a work and still a chat bout it

Our book for December is &quot;Room&quot;
