Book Discussion: Franzen's Crossroads

Crossroads is a novel about the soulful struggles of the Hildebrandt family in 1971 America. Illuminations is a novel of the life of Hildegard von Bingen, 12th-century Christian abbess, theologian, mystic, and composer. Both books weave strong characters into a complex tapestry of morality and mores, early feminism, political landscapes, and personal choices. Join us for a lively forum that will explore these stories individually and in dialogue with one another. Come for one or both discussions!

Books available at Bookshop.org (affiliate link), your public library, or your local bookstore.
