Yes, believe your eyes...I am finally picking a date for our next book club meeting! Before I get too far ahead of myself, let me talk about the book a little bit. I chose Sister Gumbo by Ursula Kindred & Mirranda Guerin-Williams. Ursula is my co-worker, and she is super sweet and a little spicy. I anticipate this book of short stories about women being entertaining with plenty of "I know what you mean" moments in between. I included a copy of the summary at the bottom of this post.
FYI, you can order the book on Amazon or pick it up from Barnes and Noble. If B&N does not have it in stock, they will order it for you and you can pick it up from the store at a later date.
Don't forget this is our meeting to invite a friend. Yay, Shay and Tamara can remain on Nedra's "good list"! Be sure to tell your friend(s) about the book and the date. This meeting will be even more fun and diverse with the additional opinions. I better start working on my questions now!
Let's meet Saturday, November 10th, at 1:00PM. If this date/time does not work for you, please let me know. I want to make sure all of us can meet and I can be flexible with the date/time. Don't forget to check with the friend you plan to invite as well. Looking forward to seeing you all soon!!!
Overview
African-American women's lives and relationships are complex and at times, deliciously spicy. So, when two sisters decided to interview over twenty women about relationships, sex, spirituality, and self, the result was a fantastic collection of funny, sassy, and moving vignettes.
From Jackie, who still loves to have sex with her husband of 28 years, to Lady, who is considering the pro's and con's of her extramarital affair, to Ayoka, who recently discovered her own inner spirituality, these women will draw you in to their lives. Their candid interviews offer insightful and intimate portraits of everyday African-American women.
