Kelsey recommends "The River Has Roots" by Amal El-Mohtar.

"In the small town of Thistleford, on the edge of Faerie, the mysterious Hawthorn family tends the willow trees there. For as long as anyone can remember, the Hawthorns have paid tribute to the willow trees, honoring an ancient compact to sing to them in thanks for their magic. None, though, have taken up this calling more devotedly than the family's latest daughters, Esther and Ysabel, who cherish each other as much as they cherish the trees. But when Esther rejects a forceful suitor in favor of a lover from the land of Faerie, not only the sisters' bond but also their lives will be at risk."

Circulo de Lectores (HYBRID)
Tuesday, June 16, from 3-4 PM

¡La biblioteca lo invita a participar en nuestro grupo de lectura para adultos! Los libros y platicas son en español. ¡Puedes asistir a esta reunión por Zoom o en persona en la sala de programas de la Biblioteca!

El libro que estaremos discutiendo este mes es el libro "Antes de ser libres" por Julia Alvarez.

"Anita de la Torre nunca cuestionó su libertad viviendo en la República Dominicana. Pero al cumplir doce años de edad en 1960, la mayoría de sus familiares han emigrado a Estados Unidos, su tío Toni ha desaparecido sin dejar rastro y la policía secreta del gobierno aterroriza a su familia restante dada su presunta oposición a la dictadura de Trujillo. Utilizando la fuerza y el valor de su familia, Anita debe vencer sus miedos y volar hacia la libertad, dejando atrás todo lo que alguna vez había conocido."
