Here are a few my book club and/or I have enjoyed: * The Seedkeeper, by Diane Wilson (Native Americans - Dakota, historical fiction) * Cantoras, by Carolina de Robertis (LGBTQ and the 1970s revolution in Uruguay) * The Great Believers, by Rebecca Makkai (the AIDS crisis in the 1980s) * Take My Hand, by Dolen Perkins-Valdez (1970s forced sterilization of women and girls) * The Frozen River, by Ariel Lawhon (late 1700s mystery; midwifery vs. male doctors) * Weyward, by Emilia Hart (1600s, WWII, and 2019. Witch trials, strong women.) Good luck!

Hi MichLibL, I’d love to get some of your suggestions for book club titles. Our current group is looking to expand their horizons. They tend to prefer literature without too many “four letter words”. Thanks for your collective suggestions! Mary Mary Jean Harrison Director Coloma Public Library 151 W.
