Night Book Group
Tuesday at 6:30M
Madison County Public Library
Berea Location
Join us at the Madison County Public Library, 319 Chestnut St., Berea, on Tuesday, February 18, 2010, at 6:30PM for our second meeting of the Tuesday Night Book Group. Our selection this month is Kentucky author Silas House’s novel, The Coal Tattoo. The Coal Tattoo tells the story of two sisters, descendants of coal miners, who live in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky. The two sisters are polar opposites: Anneth is a wild child who is determined to suck joy from life, while her older sister Easter, a deeply religious Pentecostal woman, steers clear of worldly pleasures. Tragically parentless, they must care for each other and their familial home. As they fight to protect the mountain behind their childhood home from the mining company that wants to clear the earth and strip it bare, the sisters make astounding sacrifices for each other and their community. The Coal Tattoo was a finalist for the Southern Book Critics' Circle Prize. The novel is the winner of the Appalachian Writers' Association Book of the Year Award, and the Kentucky Novel of the Year Award. Copies of the novel are available at the library’s circulation desk for those interested in attending the Tuesday Night Book Group. Join us for light refreshments and lively conversation!
