Our next Lit Chicks read is Fall on Your Knees. We'll be meeting in mid-January at the meeting room at Whole Foods on Kingsbury (Clybourn Corridor). Date TBD, but this one is a bit longer at 500 pages so wanted to give you a head start!
Following the curves of history in the first half of the twentieth century, Fall on Your Knees takes us from haunted Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, through the battlefields of World War I, to the emerging jazz scene in New York City, and into the lives of four unforgettable sisters. The mythically charged family is supported by a richly textured cast of characters. Fall on Your Knees is a story of inescapable family bonds, of terrible secrets, of miracles, racial strife, attempted murder, birth and death, and forbidden love.
