Our group chat about this book will get going around 2 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday September 13th, both here and in our Facebook group, the Book Chat. Book Club is open to anyone and everyone. If there’s a topic, thought or opinion you’d like to see addressed, leave a comment down below and I’ll see what I can do about getting it included in the main post here or over on Facebook.
As a reminder to get finished here is a preview of our Discussion Topics for next #CannonBookClub meeting:
- The book focuses on Aleppo of thirty years ago. What meaning does it make for you of the Aleppo of the past few years?
- Though unnamed, our narrator is a part of the majority Sunni population, and is led by her politically active uncles, to embrace the hatred of the Alawite minority. How does that relate to your country today?
- What does the multifaceted understandings of the various women living in the same society illuminate for you?
- How do you feel Khalifa managed in his writing from a feminine voice?
- Khalifa has suffered violence for his work, does that feel justified to you?
Okay everyone, I’ll see you on the 13th to start chatting.
