Join us for the first session of 2020!
HISTORICAL FICTION BOOK GROUP
Get immersed in the world of a historical time and place, and then engage with a scholar to learn the “real” story. At meetings of the Historical Fiction Book Group, scholars participate in discussions of the fictional elements and the nonfictional context of selected books.
This session will feature a discussion of The Fortunes by Peter Ho Davies, with Beth Lew-Williams, Assistant Professor of History at Princeton University.
The Fortunes captures more than a century of Chinese-American history through four fascinating characters.

Co-sponsored by the Princeton Public Library
Copies of the book are available at both the Princeton Public Library and Labyrinth Books (mention the Book Group for a discount!)
