The NJLLA Book Club met on April 8, 2021 to discuss the book “American Dirt” by Jeanine Cummins. Gayle Lynn-Nelson was the moderator and was well prepared with a number of good discussion topics and questions for the group. Lively discussions ensued about the characters and the author, who has been the focus of some controversy. Overall, the attendees agreed that it’s a very good read, especially if you don’t know about the author first. Look for the next book club gathering in the summer of 2021.
