The Book Circle will meet for a second time in September to delve into Dani Shapiro’s memoir, Inheritance. In this work, the writer uncovers a family secret through an innocent curiosity about her own genealogy. The meeting will be held on Thursday, Sept. 26, at 3 p.m., in the shul’s community room.
In 2016, the writer submitted her DNA for analysis, and received the stunning news that her father was not her biological father, upending her entire history and the life she had lived. Inheritance is an audio book about secrets kept because of shame, self-protection, or from one another in the name of love. It is one woman’s quest to unlock the story of her own identity.
The Book Circle meets monthly to explore books with Jewish themes and/or those penned by Jewish writers. For more information about the group, email ctigreenport@gmail.com with a message for Susan Rosenstreich, coordinator of the group.
