X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Join us this month to discuss Sula by Toni
  Morrison. Light snacks and beverages will be provided.</p>\n<p>Please con
 tact asipple-mcgraw@lexpublib.org&nbsp\;or stop by the Eastside Circulatio
 n Desk for a copy of the book.</p>\n<p>This year marks the 50th anniversar
 y of Toni Morrison&rsquo\;s second and timeless novel\,&nbsp\;Sula.</p>\n<
 p>Another of Morrion&rsquo\;s marvels\, this story digs into all the emoti
 onal touchpoints of friendship\, love\, and societal roles. It&rsquo\;s th
 e tale of two lifelong best friends and how far they&rsquo\;ll go to repai
 r what is thought lost.<br />Sula and Nel are born in the Bottom&mdash\;a 
 small town at the top of a hill. Sula is wild\, and daring\; she does what
  she wants\, while Nel is well-mannered\, a mamma&rsquo\;s girl with a que
 stioning heart. Growing up they forge a bond stronger than anything\, stro
 nger even than the dark secret they have to bear. Strong enough\, it seems
 \, to last a lifetime&mdash\;until\, decades later\, as the girls become w
 omen\, Sula&rsquo\;s anarchy leads to a betrayal that may be beyond forgiv
 eness.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>One of&nbsp\;The Atlantic&rsquo\;s Great American No
 vels of the Past 100 Years</p>\n<p>Masterful\, richly textured\, bitterswe
 et\, and vital\,&nbsp\;Sula&nbsp\;is a modern masterpiece about love and k
 inship\, about living in an America birthed from slavery. Nobel Prize laur
 eate Toni Morrison gives life to characters who struggle with what society
  tells them to be\, and the love they long for and crave as Black women. M
 ost of all\, they ask: When can we let go? What must we hold back? And jus
 t&nbsp\;how&nbsp\;much can be shared in a friendship?</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>One
  of the greatest writers of our time\, Toni Morrison was a prolific noveli
 st\, essayist\, and editor who wrote 11 novels and several essays. She rec
 eived the National Book Critics Circle Award\, the Pulitzer Prize\, and in
  1993 the Nobel Prize in Literature. Discover her beloved fiction and nonf
 iction works that have touched readers around the world.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>
