For April, the Book Club is reading American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins. The group will meet in the library on Monday, April 29 from 11 to noon.
American Dirt is a 2020 novel by American author Jeanine Cummins, published by Flatiron Books. The book is about a Mexican bookseller who is forced to flee as an illegal immigrant to the United States, along with her son, after her journalist husband exposes a local drug kingpin. American Dirt was a New York Times best seller, selling over 3 million copies worldwide in 37 languages. However, the book also gained significant criticism, especially from Mexican-American authors, for its alleged cultural exploitation. (Wikipedia)
