The Tuesday Morning Group is meeting a week early, at 10am on September 12, to discuss Behold the Dreamers, by Imbolo Mbue. In this novel, immigrants from Cameroon think the American dream is within their reach. Jende Jonga is the new chauffeur to Clark Edwards, an executive with Lehman Brothers in Manhattan, while his wife Neni is in college. Unfortunately, it’s 2007, and the recession is just around the corner.
The Tuesday Evening Group will meet again on October 24.
