Sociological Book Group @ The Jenks

This book club at The Jenks, in partnership with the Winchester Public Library, brings a sociological and anthropological lens to the discussion of books. This month, we will discuss The Orphan Master's Son by Adam Johnson. Part breathless thriller, part story of innocence lost, part story of romantic love, The Orphan Master's Son is also a riveting portrait of a world heretofore hidden from view: a North Korea rife with hunger, corruption, and casual cruelty but also camaraderie, stolen moments of beauty, and loveLimited to 15 readers, registration required.
