August is a non-fiction month for the Arroyo Seco Book Club and the non-fiction book we will be reading is The girl with Seven Names by Hyeonseo Lee. This is a memoir written by a North Korean woman who escaped that country. The book’s description tells us that it is… “An extraordinary insight into the life under one of the world's most ruthless and secretive dictatorships - and the story of one woman's terrifying struggle to escape.”
We will have copies of the book available at the branch in the place where such books are usually put, just ask a staff member if you can't find them. If you’re interested in an ebook version you can find it on Hoopla here.
We will meet to discuss the book on Saturday, August 26 at 3:00. This meeting will be held both in person and via Zoom, so, if you're interested in attending virtually be sure to email us at ayosco@lapl.org so we can add you to the link list.
