Lantern Reads Book Group: James

We are a Boston Public Library book group for adults that reads a wide variety of fiction and nonfiction. We meet on the 1st Thursday of every month at 6:00 pm at the Central Library in Copley Square.

Our July theme is "Journey/Quest" and we will be reading James by Percival Everett.

Historical Fiction. A reimagining of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn told from the enslaved Jim's point of view as he runs away to avoid being sold away from his family and Huck fakes his death to escape his violent father.

Availability: Copies will be available for pick up at the Central Library Borrower Services desk after the previous month's discussion, until they are gone, or you may place holds on other copies or formats via the library catalog.
