SUMMARY:Village Book Club at Charles McGee Library
DESCRIPTION:Silver Spring Village’s in-person book club will meet on the fourth Thursday afternoon of each month at 3:00 at the Brig. General Charles McGee Library at 900 Wayne Avenue. \nThe book is: Crying In H Mart by Michelle Zauner \nIn this exquisite story of family\, food\, grief\, and endurance\, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer\, songwriter\, and guitarist. With humor and heart\, she tells of growing up one of the few Asian American kids at her school in Eugene\, Oregon; of struggling with her mother’s particular\, high expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother’s tiny apartment in Seoul\, where she and her mother would bond\, late at night\, over heaping plates of food. Vivacious and plainspoken\, lyrical and honest\, Zauner’s voice is as radiantly alive on the page as it is onstage. Rich with intimate anecdotes that will resonate widely\, and complete with family photos. \n
