Join us to discuss the 1970 novel "The Bluest Eye" by Toni Morrison.

About this month's title:

"In Morrison’s acclaimed first novel, Pecola Breedlove—an 11-year-old Black girl in an America whose love for its blond, blue-eyed children can devastate all others—prays for her eyes to turn blue: so that she will be beautiful, so that people will look at her, so that her world will be different. This is the story of the nightmare at the heart of her yearning, and the tragedy of its fulfillment."

A limited number of physical copies of the selected title will be available in advance at the Belt Branch for check out; eBook and eAudio versions are also available on OverDrive, Hoopla, and Boundless.

This program is for adults 18+.
