YWCA Crisis Services Book Club June 13, 2010

This is the first meeting of the newly formed YWCA Crisis Services Book Club! We're meeting at Open Books off the Chicago brown line el stop.

At the first meeting, we’ll discuss Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, by Jeannette Winterson. From Amazon.com: "Winner of the Whitbread Prize for best first fiction, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit is a coming-out novel from Winterson, the acclaimed author of The Passion and Sexing the Cherry. The narrator, Jeanette, cuts her teeth on the knowledge that she is one of God’s elect, but as this budding evangelical comes of age, and comes to terms with her preference for her own sex, the peculiar balance of her God-fearing household crumbles."

We’ll also discuss locations for future meetings and book suggestions. If you can’t make it, but have suggestions for future meetings, email Sarah at [email protected]. Feel free to email Sarah with other questions about the book club too!
