The Book Circle will meet on Thursday, Sept. 18, at 3 p.m. in Andrew Levin Park to explore a father-son relationship as each looks differently at the battle for human rights in Palestine. In his personal memoir, We Could Have Been Friends, My Father and I, Raja Shehadeh reveals the complexities of their relationship. It is, in essence, not only the story of the battle against various oppressors in the region, but also a moving portrait of a particular father and son relationship.

The Book Circle meets monthly to explore books by Jewish authors and Jewish themes. For more information about the group, email ctigreenport@gmail.com with a message for Susan Rosenstreich, coordinator of the group.
