Nonfiction Chat on Zoom
Wednesday, August 12 at 3 pm
Each month, Susannah and Tina will introduce you to some great nonfiction titles they've enjoyed, and keep you in the know about similar titles to look for. Since this isn't a book group, you're not expected to have read in advance the books that Susannah and Tina will be presenting, but attendees are an important part of Nonfiction Chat, and we look forward to your sharing with us what you're reading now, great past reads, and your areas of interest.
 At the August 12 program, The Marriage Bureau: The True Story of How Two Matchmakers Arranged Love in Wartime London by Penrose Halson (available as Overdrive and Hoopla ebook and audiobook).&
French Like Moi: A Midwesterner in Paris by Scott Dominic Carpenter (available as Hoopla ebook), will be featured. Other nonfiction titles of a similar topic will be mentioned, as well.
All are invited to participate in Nonfiction Chat, even those die-hard fiction lovers. Who knows, we may whet your appetite for something new. We look forward to having you join in the conversation!

Not Your Usual Book Club with author Afia Atakora
Thursday, August 20, at 3 p.m on Zoom
 Norwalk Public Library's Not Your Usual Book Club welcomes author Afia Atakora to its Zoom room for an insightful discussion of her debut novel Conjure Women, published in April 2020. The book is available now to Norwalk library cardholders in print, and on Overdrive as an ebook and audiobook.
Please contact book group moderator Susannah Violino at sviolino@norwalkpl.org to register, and for information about joining this live program.
Published to much buzz and critical acclaim,
Conjure Women is a sweeping story that brings the world of the South before and after the Civil War vividly to life. Spanning eras and generations, it tells of the lives of three unforgettable women: Miss May Belle, a wise healing woman; her precocious and observant daughter Rue, who is reluctant to follow in her mother's footsteps as a midwife; and their master's daughter Varina. The secrets and bonds among these women and their community come to a head at the beginning of a war and at the birth of an accursed child, who sets the townspeople alight with fear and a spreading superstition that threatens their newly won, tenuous freedom. - Publisher
Afia Atakora was born in the United Kingdom and raised in New Jersey, where she now lives. She graduated from New York University and has an MFA from Columbia University, where she was the recipient of the De Alba Fellowship. Her fiction has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and she was a finalist for the Hurston/Wright Award for College Writers.
