The Book Circle will meet again on Wednesday, Jan. 19, at 2:30 p.m., on Zoom, to discuss My Broken Language, a memoir by Quiara Alegría Hudes, which tells a coming-of-age story with her sprawling Puerto Rican family against the backdrop of a Philadelphia barrio. It is a story of home, memory and belonging narrated by a girl who fought to become an artist so she could capture the world she loved in all its wild and delicate beauty.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, whose father in Jewish and her mother Puerto Rican, earlier developed the screenplay for Lin-Manuel Miranda’s In the Heights.
The book circle meets monthly to explore works about Jews and by Jewish writers. For information, email the shul at ctigreenport@gmail.com with a message for Susan Rosenstreich, coordinator of the group.
