Virtual JCC Book Club

The JCC’s virtual book club meets online on the second Tuesday of each month to focus on Jewish authors and/or themes in both fiction and non-fiction. Each month a new book is selected by the group.  The discussions focus on but are not limited to aspects of the author’s life that may have influenced his or her writing, key literary themes in the works, and how the work may be seen in the larger context of Jewish history and current events.

This month’s book is Inheritance by Dani Shapiro. The book tells the story of how, a few years ago, author Shapiro took a DNA test and discovered that she was only half Jewish — and unrelated to the woman she had always thought was her half sister.
