About this Event
Book Club attendees will discuss and analyze various themes found in Octavia E Butler's Earthseed duology. For November, we will read and discuss Parable of the Talents. Parable of the Sower was discussed in October.
It is strongly suggested to have completed reading the book(s) prior to attending book club. This allows open, in-depth discussion amongst members without the worry of spoiling the book for others.

In 2032, Lauren Olamina has survived the destruction and ruin of everything she knew.
Her peaceful community based on her newly founded faith, Earthseed, provides refuge for outcasts facing persecution after the election of an ultra-conservative president. Under his rule, Lauren's colony—a minority religious faction led by a young Black woman—becomes a target for the president’s reign of terror and oppression.
Years later, Asha Vere reads the journals of a mother she never knew. As she searches for answers, she struggles to reconcile with the legacy of a mother caught between her duty to her chosen family and her calling to lead humankind into a better future.
