The February selection for the “Let’s Talk About It Book Discussion Group” is American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins. Vox.com touts American Dirt as a social issues thriller. It tells the story of a mother and son, Lydia and Luca, fleeing their home in Acapulco, Mexico, for the US after the rest of their family is murdered by a drug cartel. Lydia is a bookstore owner who never thought of herself as having anything in common with the migrants she sees on the news, but after she comes up with the plan of disguising herself by posing as a migrant, she realizes that it won’t really be a disguise: It’s who she is now. The discussion on American Dirt will be at the library on Thursday, February 27th at 6:30 PM. All are welcome to join.
