Event Details

Join us for our new virtual book group, Book Club on the Air. This month, we will discuss The Book of the Little Axe. Ambitious and masterfully-wrought, Lauren Francis-Sharma’s Book of the Little Axe is an incredible journey, spanning decades and oceans from Trinidad to the American West during the tumultuous days of warring colonial powers and westward expansion.  (Amazon)


In Trinidad, in 1796, teenage Rosa Rendón quietly but purposefully rebels against typical female roles and behavior. Bright, competitive, and opinionated, Rosa sees no reason she should learn to cook and keep house—it is obvious her talents lie in running the farm she expects to be her birthright, despite her two older siblings. But as her homeland goes from Spanish to British rule, it becomes increasingly unclear whether its free black property owners—Rosa’s family among them—will be allowed to keep their assets, their land, and ultimately, their freedom.


This is an American Library Association/ Overdrive, Libraries Transform Book Pick. The ebook will be available to all through Overdrive from Sept.14- Sept 28th with no waiting. Several hardcover copies are available through our catalog.


Attendance is limited. Zoom link will be emailed to registered participants.
