There's nothing better than a great book to transport you to new worlds—whether real, imagined, or simply a much-needed escape from reality. This monthly book group, led by staff at Hummingbird Books, will feature a variety of genres guaranteed to spark lively conversation and connection. If you don’t have a chance to finish the book, that’s okay, come anyway!

January Book: The Foxtail Legacy by David Abromowitz explores the external and internal pressures on three generations who straddle the chasm between the Old World and the New, and the legacy of a patriarch in relentless pursuit of the American Dream. Follow the Itzkowitz family's immigrant journey across three continents and into the 20th century. Author David Abromowitz will be joining us for this discussion.

Books can be purchased at Hummingbird Books in Chestnut Hill (or over the phone a 617-487-5101), an independent, local female-owned and operated store with an extensive collection of adult and children’s books.
