NEW!!! Faithful Reading Book Group:
Open to women in their 20s and 30s. We will gather once a month on
the first Tuesday of the month. Our first meeting will be Tuesday September 2nd from 8-9(ish) the Chesterbrook Starbucks
at 6214 Old Dominion Drive McLean, Virginia 22101.
Our first book will be Dave Eggers' novel What is the What.
Brief Synopsis: “Separated from his family, Valentino Achak Deng
becomes a refugee in war-ravaged southern Sudan. His travels bring him in contact with enemy soldiers, with liberation rebels,
with hyenas and lions, with disease and starvation, and with deadly murahaleen (militias on horseback)—the same
sort who currently terrorize Darfur. Based closely on actual experiences, What Is the What is heartrending and astonishing,
filled with adventure, suspense, tragedy, and, finally, triumph.”
