The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro

Thu, Sep 10, 2:30 AM

From Women in Big Data - Southern California Chapter

WHAT WE'RE READING: *The Remains of the Day* by Kazuo Ishiguro WHAT IT IS ABOUT: "This is Kazuo Ishiguro's profoundly compelling portrait of a butler named Stevens. Stevens, at the end of three decades of service at Darlington Hall, spending a day on a country drive, embarks as well on a journey through the past in an effort to reassure himself that he has served humanity by serving the "great gentleman," Lord Darlington. But lurking in his memory are doubts about the true nature of Lord Darlington's "greatness," and much graver doubts about the nature of his own life." WHERE WE'RE MEETING: 4100 Bar in Silver Lake A NOTE ON PARKING: Street parking should be more readily accessible on Sunset Blvd to the west of the meet-up location. A NOTE ON THE MEET-UP SEATING LOCATION: Meet-ups are generally held on the bar terrace, if sufficient seating is available. Please dress warmly in the event of cool evening weather! A NOTE ON RSVPING: If your name is on the attendee list for a scheduled meet-up and you no longer plan on attending the event, please remove your name from the attendee list at least a week before the scheduled event to allow individuals on the waitlist sufficient time to read the book beforehand (no worries if a cancellation has to be last-minute, though!). Happy reading! Colin

Ghachar Ghochar by Vivek Shanbhag

Sat, Aug 29, 6:00 PM

From Mysterious Mystery Book Club

A short, darkly comic novel about a middle-class Bangalore family whose fortunes change dramatically after the uncle starts a successful spice business, leading to a move to a larger home and a shift in family dynamics. Narrated by the son, the story explores how sudden wealth unravels the family's unity, creating tension, resentment, and a sense of being "tangled beyond repair," a meaning of the nonsense phrase "ghachar ghochar". The book, translated by Srinath Perur, is praised for its masterful crafting, subtle tension, and exploration of class, gender, and morality in contemporary India.

From South Asian Book Club

Once a key operative in secret Israeli-intelligence missions, Gabriel Allon is on the run from his past, assuming a quiet life as a meticulous restorer of priceless works of art. But now he is being called back into the game. The agent with whom he is teamed hides behind her own beautiful mask-as a French fashion model. Their target: a cunning terrorist on one last killing spree, a Palestinian zealot named Tariq who played a dark part in Gabriel’s past. What begins as a manhunt turns into a globe-spanning duel fueled by political intrigue and deep personal passions. In a world where secrecy and duplicity are absolute, revenge is a luxury no man can afford-and the greatest masterpiece of all.

Book Club Meeting: The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill

Sat, Sep 5, 8:30 PM

Join Mocha Girls Read as we travel north of the border for our **Canadian Authors** Monthly Book Selection! This month, we're diving into the unforgettable novel **The Book of Negroes** by Lawrence Hill. 📚 **Book:** *The Book of Negroes* by Lawrence Hill 📅 **Date:** Saturday, September 5 🕜 **Time:** 1:30 PM 📍 **Location:** Lore Bookstore * **About the Book** Based on a true story, "The Book of Negroes" tells the story of Aminata, a young girl abducted from her village in Mali aged 11 in 1755, and who, after a deadly journey on a slave ship where she witnesses the brutal repression of a slave revolt, is sold to a plantation owner in South Carolina, who rapes her. She is brought to New York, where she escapes her owner and finds herself helping the British by recording all the freed slaves on the British side in the Revolutionary War in The Book of Negroes (a real historical document that can be found today at the National Archives at Kew). Aminata is sent to Nova Scotia to start a new life, but finds more hostility, oppression, and tragedy. Separated from her one true love, and suffering the unimaginable loss of both her children who are taken away from her, she eventually joins a group of freed slaves on a harrowing odyssey back to Africa, and ends up in London as a living icon for Wilberforce and the other Abolitionists. "The Book of Negroes" is a page-turning narrative that manages to use Aminata's heart-rending personal story to bring to life a harrowing chapter in our history. Come for an afternoon of great discussions. Whether you read the book or not, please join us. FYI, metered parking is across the street. See ya there
